The Gobbler

Promised my pal I would walk with her daughter and two boys so they could play with the dogs. We walked along the canal and the boys had good fun. We were then presented  with a tractor and gobbler that was brashing the shrubs on the canalside. It was followed by a pickup truck but no one was picking up the chopped branches making it a trip hazard for little boys and indeed myself.  I began picking the twigs up, the eldest asked why I was doing that so I explained to him. By the time we reached the village, the eldest aged 6 had made great progress in clearing the branches etc. Kids learn by example  and he did a grand job.
