I FEEL LIKE A PIED PIPER LEADING PINE NUT PARMESAN AND MYSELF TO DOOM: MY MULMUR HILLS ADVENTURE
Up here in the idyllic Whispering Hills of Mulmur staying with Suzy Larue the Canadian Pesto Queen there is so much to do!
I have been hanging around with Larue’s two dogs, Pine Nut and Parmesan. Never a dull moment.
At the corner of Larue’s estate south of the tennis courts and the swimming pool there is a path. This path deserves to be walked on…right?
It leads into the woods and goodness knows what wild beasts await? How exciting! In the winter Larue told us she hears coyote’s celebratory barking noting a kill!
I grab the attention of Pine Nut and Parmesan and off we head to our deep forest excursion. I hope they know their way back and none of us are carrying breadcrumbs like Hansel and Gretel. Am I the Pied Piper? Will we brave explorer dogs face rabid coyotes or wolves? Speaking of those savage brutes I am having second thoughts about leading this expedition and don’t tell anyone please but I am relieved to hear Bob’s semi panicked voice, “RORY GET BACK HERE! COME!” Obeying the COME COMMAND as I rarely do offers me the out I require to save face and perhaps save all our lives!
