For the non Brits, they were both a band and a stop motion children's show.

Grew up on the reruns and 100% the reason I'm super big on recycling.

WARNING ! It's a bloody ear worm, lol.

Under ground, over ground, Wombling free...

Okay, I admit it. I may be a grown up*, but I am most definitely prone to fits of overwhelming silliness, and my brain is currently in some weird crossover world, thanks to Mr GF humming the theme tune to The Wombles whilst I was very much in Bleach fanfic writing mode.

My brain, in all of it’s ingenious daftness immediately went to “Renji is Tomsk”, and now I cannot undo this, nor can I stop.

I’ll let Renji Tomsk have the final word: “I though you said it was a train, not an aeroplane.”

Renée Bordereau - Female Royalist Cavalier Of The Vendéan Insurrection

"Renée Bordereau, whose father was butchered before her eyes, and who lost forty-two relatives in the civil war of La Vendee; during the course of six years fought in more than two hundred battles, on foot and on horseback, with the most determined intrepidity. In one battle she killed twenty-one of the enemy. She liberated fifty priests at one time and eight hundred at another, all of whom would have been executed. A price of 40,000 francs was set on her head. She was thrown into prison for a crime for which she could only prove her innocence by a discovery of her sex, where she remained five years, until the accession of Louis Eighteenth to the throne of France."

She was born to peasant family in the month of June in 1770 in a village near Angiers France. She may have done some smuggling during her youth, carrying illegal salt between Maine and Brittany.

Her father was part of the riots of the Revolution and as result, was later executed by revolutionaries in December 1793.

At her first battle Renée Bordereau supposedly killed seventeen Bleues “and was present at so many engagements … Vendeans came to look upon her as invulnerable.” She was also so zealous in her support of the Royalists and their cause that when one of her uncles joined the Republicans, she beheaded him. In another battle she was equally fierce, reputedly killing “four Bleues at St. Lambert with her own hands.” A unit led by her threw six hundred Republican soldiers from the heights of Roche-de-Mûrs in the commune of Mûrs-Erigné, south of the town of Angers, Pays de la Loire, into the Louet River below.

Her effectiveness as a soldier is attested by independent sources, including Madame de La Rochejaquelein, who reported "She was of ordinary height and very ugly. One day at Cholet, they pointed her out to me. 'See that soldier who has sleeves of a color different from his coat. That's a girl who fights like a lion.'... Her unbelievable courage was celebrated throughout the whole army."

“Always on horseback, in the very advance of her company, soliciting to be preferred to the most dangerous posts, she never quitted the field of battle, till compelled by wounds, or the toils of the day. Her only ambition, her only passion, were the triumph of Religion, and the re-establishment of her lawful King.”

-Staffordshire Advertiser 

On one of her own experiences, Bordereau wrote: "Arriving near the Loire, I destroyed five of my enemies, and finishing off the day, I broke my sword on the head of the last one... Seeing only one horseman near me, I doubled back to our army. I alone, killed twenty-one that day. I'm not the one who counted them, but those who followed me, and if they hadn't said so, I wouldn't have spoken about it myself."

Her fame continued until 1824. That was the year she died in her native village at the age of fifty-four.  Madame de la Rochejaquelein, wife to Louis Vergier of Rochejaquelein (the younger brother of Henri, who was the youngest general of the Royalists during the Vendean revolt), sent a letter to Madame de Bouëre announcing Renée Bordereau’s sorrowful passing:

“This letter, which bears signs of the Marquise’s tears, is a flower placed on the grave of the obscure and valiant peasant who had testified her fidelity to God and to her King by twenty years of combats, sufferings, and imprisonment.”

we'd like to say merci madame cholet.. <3333

Who is your all-time favourite fictional TV character? There are two, and both from childhood. Madame Cholet and Amy Turtle. Madame Cholet was a charming French Womble and there's a lovely song about her: 'Madame Cholet, what's cooking with you today?' She cooked for the Wombles. Amy Turtle was a cleaner in the Crossroads Motel. She was my first love. I would imitate her for hours at a time. So, a very distinctive cook and a very distinctive cleaner, both of whom were indispensable and gratifyingly high status in their worlds.

8h02, Malia est encore sous la douche. A présent, elle laisse juste l'eau couler sur elle. Ses poils forment des vaguelettes verticales sur sa peau pâle. Elle est en retard. Elle sait qu'elle est en retard. Ça se voit dans son regard. Elle sait que ça se voit dans son regard. Il va falloir y aller. Il faudrait y aller.

Raphaël, qu'on appelle Raphy (ou Raphou) depuis le CE2, reçoit les clés de son casier pour toute l'année scolaire. C'est la première fois qu'il a un casier. Pour autant, il ne se demande pas ce qu'il va mettre dedans. La CPE donne les consignes, et lui se demande avec quels stylos colorés il va décorer l'étiquette de son casier, quel nom il va écrire (Raphaël ou Raphy ? - il n'a jamais trop aimé Raphou). Et ces questions en amènent une autre, plus essentielle.

Ce matin-là, Marcus est revenu en stop. Puis, à pied en arrivant à l'entrée de Cholet, la peau grasse, les yeux petits, des acouphènes dans les oreilles. Comme c'était l'heure, il a été directement à la boutique. Pas le temps de rentrer chez lui, il avait déjà deux bouquets et une couronne à composer aujourd'hui. La première cliente attendait l'ouverture. Il est entré, l'a faite entrer et lui a demandé de patienter. Il a mis en place les présentoirs sur la rue, allumé les lumières, déplacé quelques pots, enfilé son tablier vert dans l'arrière-boutique, puis s'est présenté au comptoir "Madame, je vous écoute". En l'écoutant, il devait se moucher. Il est allé chercher un mouchoir dans sa poche droite, l'a porté à son nez : la texture l'a surpris, c'était une capote flasque. Il est retourné à l'arrière-boutique pour jeter ça et prendre un mouchoir. Il va devoir lui faire répéter.

Nina garde depuis longtemps certains emballages. Elle a dans sa chambre une étagère à emballages et dans son salon une commode à emballages. Le micro-onde, avec le temps, est aussi devenu un présentoir à emballages. De beaux emballages. De moches emballages. Des petits emballages. Des grosses boîtes à ruban. De bêtes blisters. Des cartons Amazon. Des papiers de bonbons. Aujourd'hui, elle va passer à autre chose.

Lino avait vécu des blessures un peu à chaque période de l'année. Une au printemps, quatre en été, deux en automne, une en hiver. Et chaque année, les mêmes odeurs reviennent, l'humidité de l'air, la lumière des matins, et les douleurs correspondantes. Le figuier devant chez lui lui rappelle les saisons comme sur ces exercices de maternelle : fleurs, fruits, feuilles mortes, branches nues. Et encore : ouille le printemps, aïe aïe aïe l'été, ouch l'automne, sa mère l'hiver. Tous les ans pareil. Les blessures ne se referment jamais. Pour faire cicatriser, il faudrait que les cycles durent plus d'un an. Il faudrait perdre l'odorat une bonne fois. Il faudrait faire abattre le figuier. Il faudrait changer d'hémisphère. Il faudrait.

Il faudrait ne vivre que des débuts d'histoire.

“After I proposed to the lord’s daughter, the dream skipped ahead to us walking around her estate. The housekeeper was still with us, but had turned into a womble in the interim. As we were walking, the lord’s daughter revealed that she was going to die. I was devastated, but after some initial arguing and cursing fate I recovered a little, and invited her to sit beside the lake with me. There, with my arm around her on one side and Madame Cholet sat on the other, I promised that I would never leave her.”

I know dreams aren’t funny to other people but I wanted to share this with the world anyway.

Concept: the Wombles are environmentalists who live in a commune, and after we finally establish whether Madame Cholet is entirely comfortable with the archaic gender role she occupies, and sideline the ailing leadership of Uncle Bulgaria, they will establish the Wombles Republic of Wimbledon Common and become the radical saviours we all need in 2017
