Duckie and Granny Duck's Last Night Together

GRANNY DUCK: "Well my sweet Grand Sunny granddaughter, let's snuggle down for our last night together."

DUCKIE: "I can't believe how quickly your visit has come and gone, Granny! It feels like just yesterday that you arrived!"

GRANNY DUCK: "I know sweet Duckie, but it is true: my visit sadly is at an end. Tomorrow Odellette arrives from the Netherlands with Peter and she will take me safely back home to Mummy Marian's so I can waddle around her garden and enjoy my pond."

DUCKIE: "I will miss you, Granny!" *Snuggles up against Granny Duck.*

GRANNY DUCK: "I will miss you too, my Grand Sunny granddaughter, Duckie, but I really am a bit homesick. Whilst this nest provided by Daddy is very comfortable, it's never the same as your own nest. I've had ever so much fun seeing you on this visit, riding trams, playing hide-and-seek with the bears and enjoying Easter with you. Now that I have met Daddy, Paddy and Scout and all the bears here, I know that you have found a very nice home to live in, and that you are cared for and loved by all those around you who make a loving family for you."

DUCKIE: "Even if they don't understand how delicious worms and grubs and bugs are."

GRANNY DUCK: "Well, my Grand Sunny granddaughter, we all like different things. That is what makes the world interesting. Think how dull it would be if we all loved worms and grubs and bugs."

DUCKIE: "I would starve, because Scout would gobble them all up before I even had a chance!"

GRANNY DUCK: "Yes, Scout's grumbly tummy certainly makes its presence known." *Giggles.*

DUCKIE: *Giggles too.* "I love you Granny Duck.*

GRANNY DUCK: "I love you too, my sweet Grand Sunny Granddaughter, Duckie. Don't worry, you will come and visit me soon in Groningen, and then we will have lots more to catch up on."

DUCKIE: "You are right, Granny. Good night, sleep tight, and I love you."

GRANNY DUCK: "Good night, sleep tight and I love you too, sweet Duckie."

My bears Paddy and Scout have made very good friends with two bears in Holland called Peter and Oleg (www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577154558...) and their Mummy (www.flickr.com/photos/66094586@N06/). Granny Duck who is Duckie’s Grandmother suddenly turned up one day at Mummy Marian’s house after being absent for almost a year! Granny Duck did indeed swim the VOC (Batadvia) route and finally made it here after a somewhat circuitous route that took in Malibu, Christmas Island and New Zealand before finally arriving on picturesque St Kilda Beach!

Duckie I saw when I was at a Sunday market on a stall of homemade knitted and crocheted items. She caught my eye straight away with her happy, smiley face and bright colours. I think she finds life with my bears intriguing and perhaps a little confusing, however she is learning.

Thank you to Marian Kloon (on and off) for the use of Granny Duck's photo in my photo montage.
