The last THREE mornings we've gone to the Devil's Elbow to play with our friends.
This morning after our play, we walked the loop before getting into the car because SHE needed exercise.
Look who we found sitting by the track.
It's Blinky Bill!
He's been popular with Australian kids since his first book was published in 1933.
Now he even has his own television series.
We don't know how he ended up there all alone by the road. But we brought him home.
The poor fellow had a bath with Engine De-greaser because he was so dirty.
He's Blinky Bill, his whole life's a thrill!!
ReplyDeleteHe does exactly what he want, he's Blinky Bill!!
Sorry, you just made my peep flashback to her childhood!!
Oh, She LOVED Blinky Bill when she was a young one - and a few weeks ago, She was telling me all about Snugglepot and Cuddlepie (whoever they are!).
ReplyDeleteGood on you bringing Blinky home!
Woof
Groucho
Blindly bill is cute. I'm sure my mom would have rescued him too from being abandoned by the roadside.
ReplyDeleteWoof! Woof! Someone's trashed and and now its your treasure ... that's an antique. How COOL! Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteSo great to read that Blinky Bill has found a forever home. LOL! Is he chewable? Have a super Sunday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Three mornings at Devil's Elbow! What did you do right?
ReplyDeleteWe guess he was out with his swag doing some wandering and just got tired...he's probably so glad you found him
ReplyDeleteYou are a lucky trio, three mornings in a row?! Wow, keep doing whatever it is that you're doing. So, this Blinky Bill character...is he in a special place in the house or is he within chew range?
ReplyDeleteBlinky Bill and Engine Degreaser. Not words one would expect to find in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteToys from heaven, that's what I say!
ReplyDeleteGood thing you saw Blinky Bill and took him home, he looked like he needed a good forever home!

OKAY girrrrrls... I think you should be VERY MUCH careful about how dirty you get... If your mom uses engine Degreaser on Blinky Bill... she might use it on YOU.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna let Ernie see this post... he would be so worried he would NEVER SLEEP... I'm just sayin.
First I've ever heard of BB, no nostalgia here.
ReplyDeleteBlinky Bill is adorable...we have never heard of him but can truly see why the children Down Under love him....Thank you for giving him a bath and a new home.

So fun!
ReplyDeleteNora
what a fun find....lucky ducks getting to go so much
ReplyDeleteWe find little treasures when we walk also. Lee picks them up and washes them and sits them in the kitchen window till we find someone who wants them again. We eventually found the whole set of Nemo fishes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
