NB Trevor earned the name Clip -Clop from baby Celyn, as he would always make horsey noises ( or quacks) when he saw him.
I don’t know if you remember the time Trevor, one Saturday morning Celyn was sat at the table eating his Saturday morning’s Tesco ham sandwich. I was sat next to him and you were making everybody coffee. You reached into the fridge and grabbed one of those extra large litre tubs of cream. Unbeknownst to you, mum had been putting dishes away and had left one of the bottom drawers open. With the cream, you stepped backwards towards the kettle. I managed to just turn my head in time to watch the entire scene unfold.
You went backwards, arms flinging in the air. You managed to steady yourself but the cream just started to tip and WHOOMP.. backwards you went screaming FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK at the top of your lungs, simultaeneously with the clatter of dishes and you falling into a pile on the kitchen floor.
Celyn turns to me wide eyed, Mum starts running around shouting “What’s happened, what’s happened?”… and from flat oin the litchen floor you say “ you left the facking drawer open.. that’s what’s happened!”
You are on the floor, lying there with your arms straight up in the air still holding the now empty tub of creaem, with double cream all over your face and the floor. As you start to get up Mum calls us over saying ”look celyn Look” Clip Clop’s ear is full of cream”…..so you lie there whilst we all ‘view you’ with cream inside your ear.
Celyn always loves telling the story of how Clip-Clop fell over in the kitchen and got covered in cream and said the F word.
