Hey gang.

Just catching up on past threads. Sort of confused...are we still in pooh's world or sort of expanding it to include whatever someone would like to be? I quite like being Sooty, its fun.

I do like the secret garden, lots of room to include other characters from just about anywhere or anytime.

I did promise Sooty would join the Roman Legion. Its just a little vignette, and thankfully Sooty gets back to the garden in one piece 😅

Hope everyone is travelling well. Freezing down here. 🌻🌻🌻

Dear Friend, @Flax 

I refer to your comment 

Just catching up on past threads. Sort of confused...are we still in pooh's world or sort of expanding it to include whatever someone would like to be? I quite like being Sooty, its fun.

I am not surprised............It took forever for me to write those last few posts. 

Trying to consider everybody's feelings, at the same time work out what the last contributions to the story were and where to find them.

Covered............

left open-ended so as to allow follow on.............

Flax In answer to your question, I think the safest response is write about what you want to. 

Those who are interested will possibly allude to your post. Others will continue writing what they want.

All part of the fun.

Confusion............ yes

Hilarity.......we hope

contributions................yes please............

be yourselves and enjoy whether you write or just read...................a must

I shall attempt to respond.

Sophia 

plays the part of Tigger who is also often confused 😆

LOL I'm always a day or two behind.

@Sophia1 suggested expanding the plot and perhaps also changing the thread title.

Just my thoughts and wonder what other people think.

1. Plot - Pooh's characters are fine for those who know and love the story. Just keep on with it, and anyone who wants to add a different character from something else, a bit like me, can be woven in as it suits them. I admit I wonder off from the main thread sometimes, but I do come back. Sooty and Kanga are off to Stonehenge next, but they always come back to the secret garden.

2. Title of the thread - I have to admit the idea of virtual post is great but I was confused initally by the title. At first I thought it was just letters about MH. Maybe something short and simple like Tigger's World or The Secret Garden may show that its a fun thread, rather than something a bit heavy to do specifically with MI. MH issues can of course still be addressed, that's why we're here on SANE. Not sure I'm explaining this well, but easier to market with a simple title. Any other title suggestions...

What do you guys think? I'm happy pretty easy - change or stay the same, so long as I can still do little Sooty things 

Um,I can still be Sooty can't I?

Oh damn.

Just saw the post about Sooty and surfing stretching it a bit far, so someone left. Apologies, looks like I derailed things So the Legions are definitely way too far.

Looks like I might have ruined the plot, sorry again. No more Sooty stories I think

Postscript - ye gods, don't support this post or I'll be most sad.

Dear friend @Flax 

also friend of @Oaktree @Adge @Shaz51 @Henry1 @HenryX @Emelia8 and all others following

What a relief for Sooty to find himself once again in his safe space, Tigger's secret garden wherein lies Tigger's secret hut.

A quick aside .........A previous post alluded to the mystery surrounding the secret hut and secret garden which Tigger had been wanting to keep secret.

All of the friends who had gathered, dined and relaxed there unaware that they were not  in the real Tigger's secret garden. In fact the secret hut that they had entered was also next door to a very nosy neighbour.

The nosy neighbour was called 

 Dr Martin L Borish shortened to Borish.

 Dr. Martin L. Borish, an electrical engineer with a PhD in physics.

An electrical engineer with a PhD in physics might come in handy at some stage of the story.

So once again Borish was gripping the top of the shared adjoining fence to see what on earth was happening in that garden now. There seemed to be all sorts of goings and comings.

Different species of animals all talking to themselves and sometimes each other.

Now the previously noted sleek black cat with half closed green eyes was back shaking himself as though he was unaware where he was.

The only animal who he knew was a very tall, bouncy, tiger who seemed to call himself Tigger as he constantly mumbled to himself.

Borish had very good hearing and excellent eyesight. Along with a strong memory, he had a love of music.

He played the oboe which often brought the elves, fairies, goblins, trolls from a nearby bluestone bridge where people gathered beneath and sung. @Appleblossom 

Borish had heard that some of the visitors next door were members of different choirs.

Perhaps they could have a jam session at some stage.

Meanwhile Sooty starting to feel less dizzy was sniffing about the place, trying to work out who had been there recently which might provide some answers to where he had come from.

Whilst all of this was going on, Sooty's faithful friend, Ariadne, the sparkling winged, silver long-haired fairy, adorned in a sequinned clingy gown, very high red prada boots, carrying a sequinned hot pink prada hand bag, with some sort of unusual looking cape slung over one shoulder also was trying to assess what had happened in such a short time.

Finding himself wet at the beach. Hoisted up a cliff by rope along with other friends of that character Winnie the Pooh, watching over his best friend Sooty experiencing a dreadful nightmare.

Ariadne had special powers and was able to see into people's minds.

Ariadne witnessed the dreadful, appalling way that Sooty had been shouted at, mocked and verbally abused.

Ariadne had connections in the "Respect the people and all beings Society". He wasted no time and reported the horrid Roman Centurion to the society for bullying and harrassment.

A formal letter was to be forwarded to the person concerned forthwith advising that this kind of behaviour would not be tolerated.

The letter was then despatched to an apprentice post bat who was currently studying for a diploma in  Bat post delivery. 

Horrace carefully accepted the scroll and bowed as he promised under oath to deliver the scroll immediately.

Horrace flew off as best he could carrying a scroll that was twice the size of him.

Borish was of course observing all of this and keeping notes. As it was becoming more and more confusing for him to work out what was going on with  whoever, where were the others, what were the rest doing and where was Tigger.

Tigger unbeknownst to any of the others was in his real secret garden where his real secret hut was erected.

He was having time out............

Having some self care...........

He was exhausted from saving the surfers.

He would wait for one of his friends to write to him.

He was able to see when letters were delivered to the other garden that was not the real secret garden....

Then he would resurface......

zoom zoom zoom riding his super duper extra shiny motor bike with licence plate Bouncy Tiggr Express that had also been highly polished and had a coat of gloss painted over the plate, he rode out of the secret entrance from his secret hut within his secret garden that led to a secret road hidden between the edge of the 100 acre forest and another Parcel of land where others lived........................

@Flax 

Whilst you were going backwards through the thread. I was trying to continue contributing at the same time attempt to tie different posts together.

Not sure if you saw that post or not.

I have responded to the surfing post and included the others as best I can.

I then went on to respond to the legions and dream.

Sooty is staying put.

Tigger messes up all of the time.

Winnie the Pooh steals his own honey and blames someone else

Eeyore loves the fun but loves having everyone together so becomes upset.

Eeyore wants to stay on the thread which is good.

We will just continue to support each other.

Changing the thread name as it changed after if had been started is what I had also written about earlier.

I can also think, well I am writing too much. Perhaps no more Tigger.

Tigger needs his blanket over his head.

Someone else is using it though.

oh dear, oh my, oh Christopher Robin where are you?;;;;;;;;;;;;

[Flax]

Dear friend @Sophia1 

Sooty does get so confused sometimes.  I wish I lived in a bunker, life would be simpler.

Just saw your last post. Yay, I can stay.  

I was just reading your tie it all together post. That is so awesome and I love Borish. So much material to work on from it.

Merci mademoiselle

Flax

[Sophia1]

Oh so happy that you are feeling better @Flax 

I think that almost everyone on here at some stage has felt that they have done something wrong and upset someone's feelings.

You are not alone.

You write with great detail and imagination.

I absolutely love Sooty and of course Ariadne whom I keep embellishing every time I bring her into the story.

Am pleased to hear that you like Borish. I loved it when I found it by chance simply by thinking well even though it was meant to be and, not nad, why not look up nad, see what that means and write it into the story some how.

Slightly Freudian, but why not.

Yes there are now several leads , so many directions, so much room to expand our minds and have fun.

Thank you Flax.

We also might be having a jam session did you read that part.

Am trying to encourage meggle, henry x and appleblossom in line with previous posts way back now laugh.

Merci beaucoup Monsieur.

Ps

I will probably use french, italian, latin combined at some stage.

whatever

Hugs Tigger @Sophia1 

woody gumnutty hugs.

such a tender, careful, patient wise inclusive thread facilitator.

In some ways it is totally hilarious so thanks for the laugh ....

From Sooty almost being beaten up by bad bossy Roman Centurion to Winnie and Frances Burnett's Secret Garden ... such a mash up!

Gumnut Baby likes being high up in the red gums with sufficient physical and intellectual distance to take or leave what she needs.   Detachment enuff, not to worry too much about any birds that fly on to other paths, threads or ways of being ....

100 acres can fit an awful lot of wildlife ...

Natural Nooks for the Nice & Needy

So she has a room with a view ...

High enough so visitors will not disturb.

Basement is big enough for quite a few...

Tis her real estate blurb.

Note: minutes from Regular Concerts near the Bluestone Theatre Bridge

At times attended by Doc Borish and his Ginger cat ... but not always at the same time.

Not sure if pic is acceptable cos now it has blown up I can see the nature of one of the inhabitants! mods??

@HenryX 

Love your style.  Totally.

Sometimes Gumnut needs to ground after so many flights of fancy ... breezin about up in the trees.

@Sophia1 @Flax @Oaktree @Emelia8 @Shaz51 

Lotsa characters ... needs a place ... in time and space.

@Sophia1 

Dear friends,

Eeyore is hiding under Tiggers' very large purple blanket because without meaning to she has upset the entire group. All she wanted was to just keep having fun and now she is feeling very gloomy. For days and days she has told family members that she must write a new story but they insist on being entertained by playing Yahtzee among other things and she has not managed to get her stories written. Now everyone is upset! 

All my love,

 Eeyore
