Our woodland walk yesterday with Poppy and the dogs was really funny. As we approached the little bridge which spans the stream Poppy announced that there was a troll on the bridge and made a growling noise, she held Grandads hand to cross the bridge then when she was safely at the other side she announced that she is a princess, and that she is not afraid of the troll as she is a brave little girl! She then kept making growling noises all the way down the path and asking if we had heard the noise, was it the troll?
We walked past a man with long hair trying to control his three rather large dogs which were pulling on their leads and as we passed him Poppy asked "Grandma, what was that lady doing?" As you can imagine we carried on rather swiftly whilst trying not to laugh!
Poppy decided she was a butterfly and kept running along in front flapping her arms around and saying "I`m a pink butterfly", she then decided we have to play hide and seek again and fluttered over to the trees to hide with Grandad. I`m sure the other dog walkers must think we are nutcases! Especially when I attempt to hide behind a tree whilst sitting on a mobility scooter! Not easy!!
As we were on the way home we saw someone we know walking along the path and Poppy said "whats that old lady doing Grandma" (`what` has become the word of the day at the moment, "whats that, whats this for?") as the person in question was neither old, or a lady, I quickly changed the subject hoping they had not heard!
Our walk in the woods this afternoon will not be quite so funny!
