A good ticking off!

Having Eden with me has been great fun as usual. However, she has been chiding me for all sorts of things again! We went over to the newsagents before breakfast to get the newspaper and lottery ticket. The weather was bright and sunny with barely any wind so I was enjoying looking for whatever signs of spring that I could see.
There was a dunnock sitting in a tree just above head height and it was singing it's heart out. I stood underneath and said to the bird "what a pretty song that is" knowing that I would be told off for talking to the birds in a public place! Eden hastily moved me on as I was pointing out where other birds were sitting and singing.
When we got to the homestore car park she kept on telling me to keep walking and tried to hurry me past the shrubs. She knew what I was going to do so I did it! I stuck my head into the middle of the mahonia bush and inhaled deeply. Then I got a spider's web stuck on my face but oh the smell, just like lily-of-the-valley and I don't care what other people in the car park think anyway.
"You're an embarrassment Grandma" she scolded and walked along as if I didn't belong to her. She thinks I'm quite mad but I keep telling her that I'm just eccentric.
Very often when we are out shopping I will be talking to her only to find she has gone off leaving me in the middle of a shop or the pavement talking to myself and then she has the audacity to blame me when she's the one that's walked away!
I don't know how she would react if I was a 'boring old grandma', perhaps she wouldn't be so keen to spend a lot of time with me and we wouldn't have half as many laughs.
