06A77368-C8E4-11EA-94A3-1245C74148D9‘Where are you going?’ asked my friend Rosey.

‘On holiday’.

‘Yea, but where?’

‘To the hinterland’,  I articulated pointing into the distance.

‘Wow,  really?’ 

‘Err,  yes!’

‘Are you flying?’

‘No’,  I laughed

‘Ferry?’

‘Of course not’!

‘What language do they speak?’

‘Why,  English  pet’,  I said in a dodgy northern accent!

‘What’s their food like?’

‘Very funny!’  I said.  ‘I’d love to chat but I need to finish packing’.

It was when she reminded me to take my passport I realised she hadn’t been joking at all!

    Dear Keith,

    It’s always fun to see Rosey. These days you need your passport to go anywhere. 😉 Never leave home without it.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    I think, Keith, that Rosey believes a thesaurus can be found in Jurassic Park.
    And I love your Geordie accent!

      I’ll try that out on her! I originally wrote ‘Why, Geordie pet’ but it occurred to me that readers of a foreign persuasion might take that to be an actual language!

        Whereas it is, to most of the civilised world, utterly unintelligible gibberish!

    Haha… Nice one. In India we need an ID to cross states nowadays. Maybe Rosie meant it in that context.

    A well played prompt response once again, Keith. A passport to hinterland. Enjoyed it.

    Rosey IS technically correct. You go far enough into the Hinderland and you’ll have people speaking Hinderglish.

    Is Hinterland next to Wonderland?
    Love when Rosey stops by.
