Grandpa’s Place

We went for a big drive today up to see Dad’s Dad and his family at their place in the country. It’s an interesting place to visit, he has lots of ‘stuff’! Sometimes called ‘junk’, but apparently it’s all useful ‘stuff’. Depends you who ask. Anyway, I like it cos there is lots to smell and investigate!

We were looking around and then noticed that Mum had gone missing! I looked everywhere and finally found her in an old caravan.

She had found something very interesting! They were tiny little mewling things in a box. Kind of like little baby puppies but different…

Mum called them ‘kittens’. They were so little and helpless looking!

We were a bit concerned about them, but Mum said that their mummy would be back soon and we should leave them be. So we went off exploring again!

Mum called us back though cos there was a big cow in the paddock she didn’t want me to say hello to. I like cows, but they don’t like me much. I’m not sure why.

We went and had a look in the other paddock instead. It was kind of dry and barren, Mum and Dad said it was because they’d taken all the ‘topsoil’ off for the new ‘housing estate’ close by. Not sure what all the means, but I think it’s something to do with all the houses I could see close by. I don’t think they were there last time we visited!

We liked running around in the paddocks! So much space and so much to smell and look at!

I don’t really understand why Grandpa has so much stuff. But I really like it! It’s such an interesting place, I like visiting Grandpa!
