Me: The countryside is looking really beautiful at the moment. All those lovely colours. We’re very lucky to live where we do, aren’t we?
Nell: We are.
Me: Dave has an Enquiring Mind, doesn’t he?
Nell: Does he?
Me: Yes. When he’s out on his walk he likes to look around and see what’s going on.
Nell: He’s still looking for Frankie even though I’ve told him she’s moved to France.
Me: Darling Big Brave Beautiful Boy. Such a caring animal.
Nell: I see David as more of an Explorer than a Thinker.
Me: You can explore things with your mind.
Nell: Not in this case. David has always been an active explorer.
Me: You’re probably right. I don’t think Dave ponders on things for too long.
Nell: Which is probably for the best. Too much pondering isn’t good for anyone.
Me: I’ve been thinking about Lady Anwen.
Nell: My point exactly.
Me: Now her Nice side has defeated her Nasty one she must be struggling a little with not being her true self.
Nell: Why?
Me: We all have good and bad sides, Nell. Unless we’re a saint, or Knitwear Wolf. I don’t think he has a bad bone in his body.
Nell: Rupert is exceptional.
Me: He’s a jolly good egg.
Nell: Rupert is nothing like an egg. How on earth could you compare him to that?
Me: It’s just a saying. Anyway, sometimes we need to let our naughty selves out. Just for a quick airing.
Nell: No, we do not.
Me: You have a naughty side. I’ve seen it.
Nell: I do not.
Me: You startled a passing llama this morning with a sharp bark. It jumped in the air.
Nell: Llamas need the adrenalin rush. I was doing it a favour.
Me: I see. Sorry.
