Blackberries

Sunday PM

D: Let's go for a walk to Beacon Hill, to get a view of the village.

Maus: Is that my favourite walk?

D: (puzzled expression) I thought you found walks boring.

Maus: Not my favourite walk.

S: Can I finish my tea first?

Monkey: I not go for walk, I play.

After much debate they finally leave. The walk takes them up the Backs, down the footpath, over a style and past the church.

Maus: Look, blackberries

D: Yes, but these are not so good to eat.

Maus: Ohh...

Monkey: I not like blackberries

S: We forget a bag to collect blackberries

D: (On producing a bag) No we haven't.

They climb up the steep path to a style.

Maus: Look, I can climb over the style by myself

Monkey: I climb as well.

Maus: Wow, look at the blackberries, can I have some

Monkey: I not like blackberries

They carry on walking to the top of Beacon Hill, picking, collecting and eating blackberries.

D: Wow, look at the view!

S: That's lovely.

Maus: Look at the blackberries, I love blackberries.

Monkey: Carry me please!
