Hee hee hee.
I love the title, Joy!
This reminds me of the tale I was going to tell you when you were posting the round straw bales a few days back.
My two very young nephews (on Ming’s side) once asked me what the big bales were as we were out driving and I convinced them that they were the chrysalis form (I had taught them about butterflies and moths) of sheep. I told them to keep watch on the fields over the winter and that in early spring the bales would hatch out into sheep.
Of course, when the farmers took in the bales for silage and let out the sheep for spring lambing they completely believed me.
Which was great until a few days later when one of them stood up in class and related this wonderful tale of nature in front of all his friends, only for the teacher to fall about laughing.
Boy did those little tykes pound me for that one!
Hee hee.
Hahaha. I can’t believe you did that! You didn’t think that they’d share this natural yet exciting phenomenon to their school friends? See, this is why we have to be vewy vewy careful what we tell children – coz they tend to repeat it I wonder what Ming said when you told them that. I suppose she was in a good mood?
I am many things - a life coach, a diversity champion, a freelance writer and translator, a dog lover, a citizen of the world, etc - but never thought of myself as a photographer. Norwich inspires me to capture snapshots of this fine Norman city. Take a trip down Norwich lanes or enjoy a walk in the park with me.
