The girl's are fascinated by these very tall wooden shed's that the fisherman store their nets in.
They think this one made from half of a boat is very clever.
They watch Dad taking lots of pictures with his all singing and dancing camera.
They sit discussing all the lovely plants they have seen and tell each other of their idea's for the garden back home...
On their way to get their Fish and chips they pass this fantastic pirate mini golf course complete with pirate ship! " Wait till we tell Toby " chorus the girl's " He'll be so jealous that he did not see it "
The girl's have their meal and a must have ice cream cone and happily rest in the car going home.
The next day.....
Zak, Toby, Morgan and Dominic come across a small glass school milk bottle standing on the table.
" This is like the one that Simply Sasha's kids are saving in ! " exclaims Zak
" We could save in this one " states Toby " We need a pirate ship, let's put our money in this "
" I'd like a racing car " States Dominic " Or a video camera " adds Morgan " Or another bike? " questions Zak
" Well if we all put our money in here we can get all of the things we want in no time! " says Toby with authority.
The boy's drop a few coins in and Morgan peers in the top " There is loads of room It will take ages to fill"
" We'll have million's of pounds by the time we get to the top! " Toby crows
" I don't thing it will be millions " says Zak " but maybe thousands"
"What " says Sapphire coming into the room " are you boy's doing with our bottle?"
" We are going to save in it and buy a pirate ship " " racing car" " Video camera " " Bike and speed boat "
" Speed boat, we did not agree on a speed boat " queries Morgan
" But we'll have thousands! We can get lots of things..we can get..."
" ....Your money out of our bottle ! Now !" finishes Sapphire
After a lots of grumbling and a small struggle with the two pence that someone put in, the bottle is empty of coins.
" Well what are you going to use it for? " demand's Toby.
Just then Violet arrives with her arms full of flowers from the garden
Violet arranges the flowers in the bottle.
"FLOWERS ! " says Toby in disgust " you are going to put flowers in it! we could have saved thousands in that bottle ! Come on " he says to his brothers " Let's take our money and find something to save it in"
" I think they look lovely " whispers Morgan as he hurry's off after Toby
Pleased with their efforts the girl's go in search of Dad, they want to put some pots grouped round the door thoughts of Great Dixter still fresh in their minds....
I LOVE this post! It made me smile! I only wish I had put FLOWERS instead of money in mine :)
ReplyDeleteLove how the boys always have these great ideas which are usually soon forgotten and never followed through.
ReplyDeleteI thought at first that the girls had decided to follow Ronnie's Sasha kids and start their bottle saving for next years pots and flowers for the front house entrance.
Got very excited when I read that you were visiting Hastings and Rye. That was near where I first started my married life in a flat in Clock Tower Court on Bexhill's seafront... as we couldn't find anywhere suitable actually in Hastings where my husband was building the power station there in 1963/4. My daughter was born down there.
We went into Rye once a week for evening classes, me to continue to learn to sew using a sewing machine whilst he attended his Private Pilot flying course. Delightful area. Brings back lovely memories.
Sasha love for another enjoyable post, from Kendal.
