NEW FAIRY ON THE BLOCK

When I came down to breakfast this morning, Polly the Bee was in the kitchen making an espresso. 

When she saw me she smiled and pointed to the living room, telling me to go in quietly and take a look at the Xmas Tree.

When I did so, imagine my amazement at seeing Billi standing right at the top of the tree with a Fairy Wand in her hand and a pair of reindeer antlers clipped to her head! 

I wouldn't have been surprised if I'd found Polly up there, but her partner Billi is the most unfeminine, politically radical and tomboyish bee I've ever known!

I said Good Morning to Billi and she beamed down at me, waving her wand over me like a benediction, intoning 'Happy Xmas, Wilson's New Dad!'...
