A Minion Break

My turn for the Minions today.  Never a chore, always a pleasure.

I had a bag of carrots with me and I used it to lure them away from the dividing fence and into the hill where the grass grows.

Waffle was very keen.

Silver was interested.

And Storm?  Well, in fact, I could feel his little nosey on my hand while I walked (or it could be teefs!)

I ❤️ my little Shetland pony herd.

They give me strength.

And I need them.

Anyway, Newt and his Nuncle Storm were having a little chat.

I guess Newt said something rude like “you smell” so Storm stuck his tongue out.

And then Storm tore him off a strip!  Another one for Newt’s (now published in two volumes) Big Book of Revenge.

I walked and they followed with the odd snack stop, even though I had long since fairly distributed my carrots.

I hopped over a prehistoric wall and the herd duly followed.

And then, suddenly, with the wind in their tails, they all galloped off leaving me thinking “why do I bother?”

And they were gone.

I walked back to the car and when I looked back, I could see two little Minions watching me from a distance at the top of the hill.

They do me good. I need my Minions.

    I too want a Minion Break. Best thing in the world!
    I wonder about the people who erected the prehistoric wall, and whether sheeple and ponies lived there. A/an (depending on where one lives) historical novel by someone who lives on and loves the land would be nice. Just sayin’.

    Got my name down for Newts Book of Revenge- both volumes. I’m sure they would be best sellers. He really is a yummy and he and Storm made me laugh. Such expressions on their faces ! You are so lucky !
