BuBu and Binkys adventures






Yesterday was a crunchy blue sky Autumn Day - Stunningly colourful and crisp. We dropped Samuel off for a day of sailing and Os and I decided we couldn't resist a walk in Richmond Park.

We took our pet 'wolf' and it wasn't long before we were on a major adventure. Os (BuBu) was a noctural monkey who was taking Binky on a tour of his forest. We weren't allowed near paths, because thats where humans were, so with a short stick as a machette and long stick to help Bubu stand upright he lead the way. We were waist deep in Bracken and were tracking all sorts of wild animals (including humans - we had to avoid all human eyes, since they would try to kill us). When a bird flew past we had to lay flat on our tummies so they wouldn't come and get us. Planes were the big parents of birds and were Really bad. A Heli-monster with big teeth was hovering not far away and we had to stay under cover of trees so it wouldn't get us. We had to avoid the deer with sharp horns and big wings. On the ground we had to look out for grenades (many little deer poo in clumps) and bombs (logs of a certain size lying on the ground). We went past his house, a pile of logs, that humans had destroyed into a large pile. We found a badger Set and saw a white nose peek out before our wolf frightened it away. We dodged the zillions of spiderweb traps in the grass. I'm telling you it was hardcore and I got a headache from the stress of it - really! I was seriously getting into the fear of the helicopter, the humans we could hear, hiding from people walking past, looking out for killer birds, bombs, and traps. It was really really fun to let Oscars imagination go WILD! To follow him wherever he wanted to go, do whatever he wanted to do I just asked question after question and he just made up crazy crazy things. FUN!
