POPPY AND ROSIE THE PONY.

Poppy arrived yesterday morning announcing she was hungry and wanted a biscuit and a cake! Nice to see her with an appetite after she had been a bit under the weather at the weekend. She certainly made up for it yesterday! We made some cakes together, actually quite a bit of the mixture ended up on me when Poppy got a bit over enthusiastic while mixing! She was very pleased when they came out of the oven and had two! Over the course of the day she managed to get through 4 of the fairy cakes we had made!
She had a busy morning getting most of the toys out and she told me she was tired a couple of times though did not want to go to sleep. She loved nursery the day before, and had been very excited going in. She had her lunch and then told me she was tired again so I asked her if she needed to go to sleep and she said yes while grabbing her snuggly. She must have been more tired than I even realised, she slept for 3 hours! Evidentally nursery had worn her out more than I had known.
Grandad had a lovely surprise for Poppy when she woke up, he had arranged for her to go and visit Rosie, the pony. Becky who Grandad works with, and her daughter Briony, let Poppy visit Rosie and so we headed out in the car with one very very excited little girl in the back. After going to the wrong place we found the correct location just along the road and Poppy went with Grandad, Becky and Briony to fetch Rosie, when they came back to where I was waiting Poppy was helping to lead Rosie along, she looked so pleased and proud walking down the lane holding the long lead with the beautiful Rosie walking sedately. Poppy got to stroke Rosie, and even brushed her before she noticed some other horses in the field nearby and went to make their aquaintance. In one field there was a lovely shetland pony which ofcourse Poppy thought was a baby horse, which was only just a bit bigger than she was! She was laughing as it ran across the field towards us, and when it pushed its nose towards her she was giggling away. She had a lovely time, and did not want to leave but Mummy was on her way home to fetch her. I know she would love to see Rosie again, it was very kind to let her visit.
