A visit from 'The Witches of Enfield'

The witches of Eastwick

Three of my wife's oldest friends; Kate, Sarah and Lucy made the 250-mile round trip on their broomsticks from North London to rainy Bournemouth today to meet Joe-Joe for the first time.

The trio, dubbed the 'Witches of Enfield' because of their resemblance to the actresses in the movie 'The Witches of Eastwick', spent the day making a fuss over Joe-Joe, taking turns to give him his bottle and burp him.

Kate (Cher), Sarah (Susan Sarandon) and Lucy (Michelle Pfeiffer) are taking Deborah out for a few drinks tonight. I'm sure at some point in the evening when they're downing Witches Brew cocktails (1 shot Blue Curacao, 1 shot peach schnapps and two shots vodka) Deborah will tell the childless women all the gory details about the night she gave birth. I do laugh over the fact that before giving birth Deborah frowned upon women that divulged their birthing horror stories - yet now she can't wait to boast how she pushed out a nine pounder with no pain relief. Maybe I'll suggest they try a cocktail called the 'After-Birth' at that point in their evening! (dash of lime cordial, 25ml Bailey's Irish Cream and 25ml of vodka). 

Now I'm wondering if the witches might have a spell for when I'm left holding a screaming baby tonight and trying to watch The Open golf highlights on TV.
