10/10/23.

Crickey, we had the whole day to ourselves today. Of course, we didn't know when they would return. Trixie overheard a conversation saying they were visiting a friend this afternoon, so we knew we had at least 3 hours to safely explore. 

This driveway is extremely long, and we hear His Lordship and the Mistress often talk about how the local bus is always parked down the road when they come or go at any time of the day or night. So, we wandered down to see what this was all about. 

Oh, my little legs were really struggling. We couldn't find anything to ride on either, so we just took our time. This road is a dead end, and the bus turns and parks until it is time for them to go according to their timetable. These buses are huge and some of the drivers are women and Trixie was very surprised. From what I hear Women can do anything. Everything is equal these days apparently.

All kinds of people seem to take a ride on this bus. We wondered whether we could get on it one day. Oh, heck where does it go. We could end up anywhere. Trixie is a wise woman and suggested we just explore people's gardens out here and give this bus idea a miss.

She reckons there could be other Gnomes in these gardens. When the coast was clear we headed into all kinds of places. Some had their gates shut, how rude. How's a small chap meant to explore? Jeepers there some interesting flowers in some gardens. I know the mistress would like these. Trixie said, "Let's pick some for her". Heck no she will wonder who got inside while they were out, and this could scare her. Best not to make her blood pressure rise. She is of age you know where anything is possible.

We noticed some places had statues, and they looked hideous. Some had kids' toys left lying around. Kids are very noisy and disturb the peace. We don't have kids at our home, thank goodness. We like the peace and quiet and so does the Mistress.

Gosh, we got carried away out here, and best to head back. You never know when these love birds will arrive back. 

Now they got back hours and hours later, and we could have had more time down the road, but there will be another time as we are here until 2 November, so plenty of time.

The mistress put a pot of paint beside us. It appears she had run out of red and needed an orange too. The mind is working overtime here. We could paint this place RED!!! ......We may need that bus to take us away permanently.
