Scout, Peter and Rosie Play Hide-and-Seek with Daisy-Maud
DAISY-MAUD: “Where are you little ones? You are very, very good at hiding Scout, Rosie and Peter!”
PETER: *Giggles.*
ROSIE: *Puts paw to mouth.*
SCOUT: “Shhh!”
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All giggle.*
DAISY-MAUD: “Are you hiding underneath the table?” *Looks under the table.* “No.”
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All giggle.*
DAISY-MAUD: “Aha! I can hear you!” *Puts paw to mouth and scans the room.* “I bet you are hiding behind the sofa!” *Looks behind the sofa.* “No?”
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All giggle.*
DAISY-MAUD: “I can still hear you little ones, so you can’t be far!” *Ponders.* “Are you behind the curtains?” *Looks behind curtains.* “No? Hhhmmm.”
DADDY: “Hullo Daisy-Maud!”
DAISY-MAUD: “Oh hullo Daddy!”
DADDY: “What are you doing Daisy-Maud?”
DAISY-MAUD: “Well, I am playing hide-and-seek with Scout, Rosie and Peter. You know how good they are at hiding!” *Winks at Daddy.* “I can hear them giggling, but I just can’t seem to find them, no matter where I look.* “Winks knowingly at Daddy again.*
DADDY: *Spies Scout, Rosie and Peter hiding behind a corner and smiles.*
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All shake their heads at Daddy and put paws to mouths.*
DADDY: “Oh yes! I know Daisy-Maud.” *Winks knowingly back at Daisy-Maud.* “They are such clever hiders! Maybe if you keep looking for a little bit longer.”
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All giggle again.*
DAISY-MAUD: “I will Daddy!” *Smiles cheekily.*
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All giggle again.*
DADDY: “Well there is no rush to find them, as long as you are all having fun.”
DAISY-MAUD: “Oh we are Daddy!”
DADDY: “And when you do find them, please tell them that it is afternoon tea time. I have some delicious home made biscuits fresh out of the oven for everybear.”
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All gasp.*
DAISY-MAUD: “But won’t the tea go cold and the biscuits get gobbled up by everybear if I don’t find their hiding place, Daddy?” *Winks at Daddy and smiles again.*
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All look anxiously at one another as they rub their grumbly tummies silently.*
DADDY: “Oh don’t worry, Daisy-Maud, I won’t serve afternoon tea until you find them!”
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All sigh quietly with relief.*
DAISY-MAUD: “Oh thank you Daddy!”
DADDY: “My pleasure, Daisy-Maud. I wouldn’t want ay bear to miss out on filling their grumbly tummies!” *Walks away smiling.*
DAISY-MAUD: “Where are you little ones? I am going to find you!”
PETER, ROSIE and SCOUT: *All giggle again.*
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 www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577233464... and their Mummy Marian Kloon (on and off) . Peter and Scout are very similar and have become best friends. Peter loves Rosie and Rosie loves Peter, so they have become prince and princess to one another. Oleg and Paddy are very similar and have become best friends too. Peter has come to stay at our house, whilst Paddy stays at Mummy Marian’s and visit’s Oleg.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Rosie is Scout's cousin, because like Scout, she is a free trade knitted bear from Africa. She was made in Kenya by one of the Kenana Knitters, Martha Wanjira. She is made from home spun and dyed wool. She was a gift to me from two very dear friends, including the one who gave Scout to Paddy.
Daisy Maud is Jago's little sister and was made by the same friend in England who made him. She is made of German mohair with floral fabric cotton paw pads that match her pretty sunhat, and glass eyes. A sweet and loving little girl bear, she is happy to be reunited with her big brother, Jago, and enjoys being spoiled by her Daddy.
Thank you to Marian Kloon (on and off) for the use of her photo of Peter in my photo montage.
