I feel a new nickname coming....
Twinkle has had a very eventful weekend. We all went down to the corner of England to visit the in-laws. Was a lovely sunny day. They were out in there garden when we arrived. We had to take it in turns to guard the steps leading to the top part of there garden, where there was a large summer house, green house and a lovely big pond...full of very large fish. Koi et al i believe.
Twinkle enjoyed playing about around the bottom part of the garden. But all the time having a glint in her eyes. She was planning something, i could tell, although i wasn't too sure what she was planning. There were children (and adults) jumping on next doors trampoline. She stimmed with excitement when they appeared above the fence every now and then. Was she planning an escape to join them?
It was my husbands (her dad) time to guard the stairs. Twinkle's uncle had just been guarding them and had gone to the top of the garden to sit on a bench and text his girl friend. My husband reached over to show mum-in-law a photo on his iphone, i looked at the photo too. That was it Twinkle saw her chance. She was off...perhaps she has my athletic genes...(i ran for Kent in the 100 meters sprint in my young days) . I shouted....(her name) ....husband turned around she was half way up the steps...my eldest son ran too....we called her uncle who was still up there...he was our only chance now...she had out witted my husband and eldest son.......The pond flashed in my mind...too late....
SPLASH...."she's in" shouts uncle....She was most certainly in....with the Koi ....up to her neck in pond water. She had performed the most amazing 'bomb' into the pond. All those weekly trips to the swimming pool with her respite lady had paid off.
Uncle pulled her out and brought her down. She was standing there with a pleased look on her face and if she could talk I'm sure she would have explained how much she enjoyed that. As it happens she didn't need to say anything the look on her face said it all. She was fully clothed, shoes and all. Luckily i had brought some spare clothes.
New nickname? Newt perhaps??
