Me: I can’t believe it’s raining again.
Nell: I can.
Me: But we’ve got another viewing this afternoon.
Nell: Seriously?
Me: Yes.
Nell: Are you trying to tell me we’re going to have to move the whole family out into the wind and rain on their summer holidays?
Me: We can’t be here for the viewing, Nell.
Nell: I don’t even know if The Cat has enough sou’westers in its Dressing Up Box.
Me: I’m not sure we need sou’westers. A light rain jacket is enough.
Nell: At least we have Wellington Boots. Jonathan’s feet are nearly the same size as yours, so he can wear your old ones, and Faye can wear his.
Me: Most of the animals can shelter in The Barn. The potential buyers probably won’t go there and as long as they don’t feel the need to climb a tree, Beauregard, Roary and Mrs King should be fine in the Tree House.
Nell: I can’t see them climbing trees, to be honest.
Me: No. Probably not.
Nell: Definitely not. I shall be very glad when all this selling the house is over.
Me: You and me both.
Nell: Now, it’s such a gloomy day I thought we should pass on some good news.
Me: What do you mean?
Nell: You know. The exciting new collaboration.
Me: You mean the special parcel that arrived for me?
Nell: Yes.
Me: I’m not sure.
Nell: Alice filmed it.
Me: I know.
Nell: And we should share it.
Me: Should we?
Nell: Yes. Then people can help us make a decision.
Me: They could, I suppose.
Nell: It’s something we’ve all talked about in the past.
Me: It is.
Nell: And something you’ve always wanted.
Me: I have.
Nell: So, let’s share the video.
Me: Maybe later. Let’s see. Sorry.
