Me: We’re so lucky to live where we do, aren’t we?
Nell: Yes, we are.
Me: The light and the colours on our walk down by the river were absolutely breathtaking.
Nell: River walk is my favourite. The grass is soft under paw and I can enjoy a good sniffari.
Me: It’s Kev’s favourite walk, too. Harriet prefers the sea and my Big Brave Beautiful Boy just goes with the flow.
Nell: Now, Gladys and the llamas have a request.
Me: I’m not cartwheeling, Nell.
Nell: Don’t be silly. The mere idea.
Me: I know how keen they are to get everyone moving.
Nell: So, what do you feel about ballroom dancing?
Me: I love watching it, Although, I might prefer Latin if I’m honest. But I’m not sure I can do it.
Nell: How about a glitzy Strictly Come Dancing evening?
Me: Sounds absolutely fabulous.
Nell: That’s what The Cat said when we suggested it.
Me: I don’t have to wear fake tan, do I?
Nell: That’s what Kev said when we suggested it to him.
Me: I don’t mind a few sequins and I’d love a feather boa.
Nell: Good. Get yourself over to the Big House as soon as you can and The Cat will see what it has for you in its dressing up box.
Me: How exciting.
Nell: I will be judging, of course, along with my dear friend Anton du Bark.
Me: I didn’t know it was a competition.
Nell: Of course it is. You are with Kev. David is paired with Sally, Harriet with Jim the Farm Dog, Malcolm with Susan, Mrs King with Beauregard and Miss Penny Lane with Stephen Seagull.
Me: I beg your pardon?
Nell: He asked and Penny agreed. Do you have a problem with that?
Me: No. Sorry.
