Another of those quiet August days. Two Korean pilgrims wander through the village. After that nothing. Bob rediscovers the bobble hat he'd hidden in the lavender border. This is finally shredded in a noisy game of tug-of-war.
The Old Farmer is tinkering under the bonnet of his venerable motor home. '' Off on a trip ? " I ask as we head off for an afternoon walk. It seems the Old Farmer is planning another trip to Belarus. ' I'm eighty five now. In ten years time I might not be up to it '. He also informs me that the motor home has 510,000 kilometers on the clock. It's hot but he's wearing his green and black plaid fur trappers hat with ear flaps. Bob and Sophie notice that the ear flaps 'flap' as he talks. They are intrigued.

It is lovely to see Bob and Sophie playing so happily together. I would love a companion for Merlin but would fear for their safety.
Long may the adventurous Old Farmer and his motor home remain robust.

Oh, the Old Farmer has flappy ears? Just like Bertie! I like him more every day.
Cheers, Gail.
PS With the Pope's recent visit, Korean Catholics have been in the news. Last year at a wedding I learned there are more Presbyterians in South Korea than in Scotland.
Looks like a fun game of tug-o-war.
Hidden treasure, retrieved.
Its amazing the way toys disappear, can't be found after serious searching and then suddenly reappear as if by magic
The Old Farmer is plotting a new route that takes him to Bialystok and Europes oldest Bison inhabited forest !
Bob and Sophie seem to think the woggling ear flaps are some form of bird life .
Fun and noisy !
And shredded .
There's always a secret corner where things can be hidden.
How's the Very Old Farmer? Love the tug o'war photo!
Yes, is there any news about the Very Old Farmer?
Quite the fellow, your Old Farmer, and quite the trip. It must be country life that keeps him so vital. Note how he says that he "might" not able to make it, leaving open the option that he may still feel fully capable of a great adventure. Can you imagine the mileage on the dodgy old motor home by then?
Perhaps his hat's ear flaps remind Bob and Sophie of two sausage patties.
Bobble hat tug-of-war....the best game ever.
Wow, the Old Farmer is planning another long trip to Belarus.....my worry has started already.
