Basset Picnic. By Bessie

On Sunday we went to a Basset party at Miss Paula's house.   Us houndies went with Mummy, Tom and Katie.  Bryn stayed home to help Daddy with the pond.

We wanted to get there at 11.30 to help set up.  Well first we were running 15 minutes late cos Katie wouldn't get a move on then we got stuck in a classic car rally about two miles away from Paula's house.   It took 45 minutes to drive the quarter mile through this village.  All the people had come out of their houses and were sitting on the kerb on their garden chairs waving flags.  Mummy waved at the people and Katie was embarrassed.  She was most embarrassed when this man was taking photos of the classic cars then put his camera down when he saw our car.  Mummy wound down the window to shout "OI TAKE MY PHOTO" and Katie said "NO. There's a line and you SOOO crossed it".

Anyway when we got to Paula's house we went for a walk in the woods with our friends.  There were 32 bassets and 2 non bassets.    Some people said 31 bassets and 3 non bassets but they counted Navi as a non basset and that is mean.    There was a couple eating their lunch in the middle of the path and they wouldn't move or pick up the bag with their food in it.  So, naturally, 32 bassets and 2 non bassets stuck their heads in the bag and the people were very cross.    We say very stupid though.

When we got back the humans had lunch and we had snossijs and there was a raffle and we all had our photos taken.  We had good fun playing with our friends.

On the way home the M4 was closed at junction 13 so we had to do an enormous diversion and we didn't get home til 7pm.   Daddy had taken Bryn to McDonalds for tea cos they couldn't possibly cook.
