Lost and maybe Found.


                             

With two young grandsons and their dad staying with us for a while, Lady Magnon suggested buying a drone for them.

I said they'd probably lose it within the first 10 mins.

"I'd tie a sausage to it", she said.

"Why on earth would you do that?", I asked.

"So that Bok could always find it in the long grass".

She's no fool; Lady M.

You're right about Lady M. I'll wait to see how the drone idea panned out for the boys and for Bok.

I shall also wait, may be i'll think about it here too,they are still playing with Lego here, but they are growing fast.

Cro Magnon said...

They don't seem very interested; it may never happen.

Cro Magnon said...

Our two are more interested in their bikes.

Sue said...

Ha-ha, that's funny. Hope they had a good journey down.

Cro Magnon said...

No problems this time; they even arrived EARLY.

Maria said...

Haha....brilliant!
Greetings Maria x

Cro Magnon said...

Why didn't I think of it. It takes a special type of logic!

A young boy knocked on our door a few months ago and said that his drone had landed in our garden ..... we looked for ages and couldn’t find it ...... I wonder if he ever did find it ?!!!! Drones might be more trouble than they’re worth !!! Have fun with the grandkiderlies !! XXXX

Maria said...

Maria said...

Cro Magnon said...

It's not actually one of my grandsons; but could easily be! You're right about the logic.

Cro Magnon said...

I think they're fun for a short while, then they're quickly put aside. The same amount spent on a bike will give fun for years.

Your countryside looks and sounds so interesting and your weather is (or seems to be) permanently good - I expect they will find numerous 'boy' things to do without any
help.

Cro Magnon said...

The countryside is certainly beautiful here, but it's not always the case with the weather. Still, boys usually manage to find plenty of things to do.

Sounds like Lady M and son will play with drone while you and grandsons go off and make dams and campfires.

Anonymous said...

Very clever Lady M, although it will need to be a drone to carry cargo.

Cro Magnon said...

I don't think she'll be buying them one; they don't seem interested.

Cro Magnon said...

The idea was good though.

local alien said...

Drones are not 'dangerous fun'! You can do all sorts of dangerous things on bikes and go dangerous places too.
Can imagine the enjoyment, yours and theirs

Cro Magnon said...

They are doing just that. There's no stopping them.

Cro Magnon said...

THERE IS A BIG STORM GOING ON TO THE EAST, AND IT'S HEADING OUR WAY. I SHALL CLOSE DOWN.

Jennifer said...

Lady M is very clever!

Enjoy those boys. :)

Tom Stephenson said...

Brilliant idea. That could be the answer to all sorts of things - tie a sausage to it.

Andi's English Attic said...

Don't fly the sausage too low - you may get a low flying dog at the same time. (We had our storm last night)

Cro Magnon said...

She has her moments!

Cro Magnon said...

I'll tell her you approve.

Cro Magnon said...

Would that be a Hot Dog?

Vintage Maison said...

We had a cracker of a storm last night - you must have had it first as it came up from the south! Another one brewing just as we are going to a 70th birthday garden party!

Cro Magnon said...

Ours has now gone, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I've sent it your way!

libby said...

I imagine it is really fun for you having the boys to stay...enjoy every minute x

Jenn said...

Do you still have the trailer (caravan) for them? I agree that the bikes would be more fun. -Jenn

Cro Magnon said...

It's lovely; I've been driving my son's big fat German car!

Cro Magnon said...

Yes, it's still there. I've been using it as a studio throughout the winter. Bikes are best.

Jane Karwat said...

UFO's in France. I now, know the real story behind the rumours. Drones and sausages. Enjoy your time with your grandkids and family.

Cro Magnon said...

Sausage circles in amongst the wheat fields. I know what you mean!
