Houndstooth of the Baskervilles.

(Trivia and coincidence. A shop that once young Mr. graced Barkly Street Ararat was 'Scholes and Scholes'.)

I only ever knew Buckleys and Nunn and Ball and Welch, myself.

The Cust partner must have fallen off the twig and been replaced by Scholes Jr., as it was Scholes and Scholes in the days when I passed by on my way to buy my school lunch pie and piece of hedgehog (or chocolate eclair) from Crawford's Bakery.

The owners, the Misses Crawford (sibling Havishams) were truly 'Under Milkwood' characters in waiting.

Self raising shrouds of flour veil cock's crow-rising, gingham-pinafored, baking powdered-haired, nutmegged and cinnamoned-scented sisters coal scuttling from stoked-up stove to robby doyleyed shop shelves.

Beautiful, Sedge.
Hope that wins the VR Comments award.


btw: A bakery is a scary place for a Havisham to be.

"How old is the hedgehog?"
"Oh - quite fresh. 23 years, 4 months and 6 days.
Just like yesterday, really"

(Until recently - there was a piece of Havisham cheese sitting in the fridge here)

Whoof's got an aitch?!? Well, I never. Arf!

I think the aitch indicates the arf is high.
Which is whiffy.
