Blonde & Wispy

With GG away in Auchterarder at a Thank-you Get together for all the crochet and knitters who send there creations to Rumania and Cameron at Rory's Football birthday party at McDiarmid Park, it was just Ben, Breagha and myself that set out on a lovely Spring walk in the little path flanked by woods and open countryside up at the Noah's Ark area on the south side of Perth.

Ben had so much fun trying to find jobbies in the grassy verge (yes, he has a strange fascination for finding them, probably due to us always checking the garden to clear up Breagha's before he plays on the grass). His eyes were out on stalks when we came across a massive pile of horse droppings, "Ooooo look, big jobbies" he says. As he skipped along doing a Buzz Lightyear impersonation he found another pile ( need to get him out of the habit of shouting oooooooooh jobbies!!!, then wanting to put them in a black bag)!!

Anyway, we headed back, and as I stopped in the wood towards the home straight, Breagha disappeared then reappeared a different colour....... She had bathed in a pool next to the massive pile of straw and horse sh*t from the nearby riding school. OH MY GOD (or words to that effect I said). She was almost green, stinking, and also had attachments of straw etc in her long hair (but was very chuffed with herself)! She was not so chuffed on arriving home and got hosed down, which actually didn't really do any good.

So it was bath time. Ah, but clean soapy water is such a trauma compared with a pool of horse sh**. I have not been forgiven, she is giving me the evils every so often from her chair....
