Flat Stanley’s busy weekend with Bronlee
Another girl’s house – Yay! Bronlee was really happy to take me home with her, she told me that it was going to be a really busy weekend with the Matamata Annual Country Music Spectacular on Saturday night, which her parents were busy with. She also told me she has two really big sisters who are teenagers and a big brother in his twenties.
On arrival at Bronlee’s house and while waiting for milking to finish, we kept ourselves busy chatting to and helping out Kate’s Uncle Grant who was making a new step at the cowshed, getting it ready for concrete, that was hard work for a wee guy like me! Bronlee and her big sister Hayley and I went to gather some mushrooms and then we fed the pigs, they sure did chatter a lot!
Next we were off with Bronlee’s mum to shut the cows away and I got to sit on a cow’s back. Another cow wanted to eat me; I started to feel a bit like the Gingerbread man instead of Flat Stanley.
There was a digger on the farm – wow it was big! Bronlee and I got in and pretended to drive it. I bet the boys would have loved that!!! At the house I got to have a bubble bath with Bronlee, meet their cat Sydney, and brush our teeth after tea then go to bed ready for the next day’s adventures.
Saturday morning I helped Bronlee’s mum feed the chooks and pigeons, there were different coloured chickens, some with fluff on their legs and others without. Must eb a new fashion. The chooks weren’t too sure of me: I did feel pretty big next to them though. I went with Bronlee and her dad (after we’d read the paper) to Matamata and met some of the people that were going to sing in the show that night. Her big sister, Courtney and her friends were busy entertaining the Australian singer Laura Downing. We also played with a cute puppy called Tinkerbelle.
Bronlee and I went to stay the night with her sister Hayley and her flatmate Sarah, but Hayley did take us to the Spectacular and I checked out the CD’s that their mum was selling for the singers. I was invoted to sing at the end of the night but Bronlee and I were too tired and Hayley had to take us home.
On Sunday morning we had a yummy breakfast with Sarah, played with Ziggy the cat, danced and played computer games. I checked out Sarah’s toy bunny and her lovely cosy slippers, they would make a lovely bed for me when it gets a little cold. I pretended to be a big persona dn talk on the cellphone and even learned how to text! We had an ice-cream party which was great fun but the camera batteries died so we couldn’t take pictures of that.
We went back to Bronlee’s house after milking and I went to meet Bronlee’s Flemish Giant rabbit, Bella. She thought I was a carrot! I thought I best run away from her, she was enormous for a rabbit, unless I’d become smaller suddenly.
Bronlee showed me her pretty garden and then I met one of the three dogs, Tam, she tried to grab my arm and run away with me. “Run, run, fast as you can, you can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man” – oh no that’s right I’m Flat Stanley.
Tea–bath-bed! What an exhausting weekend!
I hope someone gets to take me along to the Country Music Club night sometime where Bronlee and her big sister sing, it’s on the 3rd Friday of every month at the Matamata Primary School Hall at 7:30pm and it’s only $4 for non-members or 50c for children. Then I’ll get to sing that song that I missed out on doing. Anybody can go and the music is really modern these days.
But until then? Where to next?????
