RAMBLINGS
MAKING OUR WAY HOME.
Usually Sunday mornings on the way home Wilson and I catch up with Donna, on her way to work. Wilson always look forward to this, as he gets treated with carrots, pats and hugs. Today was different, for a start Donna couldn't make it, but I still took the same way home past the Wetlands car park and as we neared, a Lady came over and said, My husband said there is a little horse approaching pulling a man in a cart. She said. I didn't believe him! To which I replied. Your hubby's right and it's real!
So she met Wilson and gave him some pats while we had a chat, and more cars started to arrive at the car park with more people who were fascinated with the little horse and wanted to meet Wilson, while others stood back and took photos.
One Lady had her son and was taking a photo of him giving Wilson a pat.
I said to the young bloke, Just get in here mate and I'll take your photo while you hold the reins, it will give you bragging rights when you go back to school!
After the photos were taken i asked him if he wanted to take Wilson for a short drive across the car park, at which the young fella and his mum accepted, so with me at Wilson's head, for safety reasons, the mum took the reins and drove Wilson across the car park and the young fella drove him back to the other side again. I think the little fella was rapt.
Once we got back I said goodbye to all the people that had gathered and wished them good luck with their bird watching before parting company and heading home to pen Wilson up and have a cuppa.
I think Wilson gave everyone a good start to their day.
I hope that you enjoyed this short story of this morning's outing.
Take care and keep safe and well.
