The little wheelbarrow is one that Harry would greatly approve of, pink is his favourite colour. I bet those boys loved flexing their muscles to show Grumpy how strong and helpful they were. You just couldn't have done it without their help!
I was Grumpy once, but then I discovered that all of the other dwarves have speaking parts.
Must agree wholeheartedly with Hippo and Elaine - at the very least your barrow should be tie-dyed. How, Sir, would it look if you were one day to be wheeled into Le Accident & Emergency Frenchish because the wheelbarrow wheel had caught in your kaftan and all they had to cut away was some dull work-a-day machine?
I'm sure your wheelbarrow feels comfy to use, much the way a favourite pair of slippers or old jumper does. And its use made all the sweeter when accompanied by a smaller version pushed by eager, little hands.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Aww, that is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteWith you being an 'arty' type I am surprised that the big barrow isn't brightly coloured!
ReplyDeleteI bet the kids love being with you and doing what Grumpy does!
