Sunny Farmhouse Chapter 4


"Look mum" screeched Lola as she innocently demanded her mother's attention. "I've wiped away all the sparkly glue and have finished cleaning Mollie's wellie boots, which are super shiny." Flushed and red-faced, Sarah took a few seconds to compose, placing all the unfinished paperwork she was buried under to one side.

Preparing herself to give an exaggerated and fun-filled response she then turned to face the young child who awaited so proudly to receive praise from her mother. "Excellent job little one, you are right, those wellie boots are super shiny…they are the shiniest boots mummy has ever seen, can you please carry them to your sister's room? "Oh... and Lola, please do not touch anything"! Sarah called out while watching her daughter so quickly run up the stairs.

Even though ten minutes is believed to be only a short amount of time to have passed, the all too quiet house began to arouse suspicion. "Are you ready? We need to leave to make learn and play day on time". Said Sarah, curious as to where Lola and her mischievous little mind had ended up. "Keys mum? Said Lola appearing as though like magic.

Knowing her mother tended to misplace things or be forgetful, Sarah could see the amusement in Lola's eyes after asking such a question… Sarah replied pulling a funny face in her laughing daughter's direction, "Yes Dear". But just to be safe she tapped her hand against the back of her jean pocket Feeling the No1 mum keyring jangle that Mollie had given her last month as a gift for Mother's Day. Sarah now certain she remembered everything the both of them needed, reached out to hold Lola's hand and together finally began their journey.
