Lady Sybil: I'll tell Willikins to pack winter clothes. It'll be pretty cold up there at this time of year.
Sam Vimes: Yes. That's a good idea.
Lady Sybil: We'll have to host a party ourselves, I expect, so we ought to take a cartload of typical Ankh-Morpork food. Show the flag, you know. Do you think I should take a cook along?
Sam Vimes: Yes dear. That would be a good idea. No one outside the city knows how to make a knuckle sandwich properly.
Lady Sybil: Do you think we ought to take the alligator with us?
Sam Vimes: Yes, that might be advisable.... What alligator?

Kindest Followers...
I wish to offer my greatest apologies for the lack of updates to The Watch House, I am currently undergoing a move to rival that of Treacle Mine Road to Pseudopolis Yard; but I shall endeavour to make it up to you all starting with an incoming picture of Watch favourite Constable Downsprout.
Thanks for your time, support and understanding in all this - you’re all fantastic :)
