“ Oooooooh ooooooh”
It’s a two tone old ladies call.
They usually reserve it for calling to other old ladies across a garden fence or a shopping aisle
It’s for the most part accompanied by a floppy wave of the hand or a shake of the handkerchief
And delivered right, it can be somewhat piercing
“ Ooooohhhh ooooooooo!”
It came again, this time much louder.
The dogs jumped from their sleeping positions and thundered downstairs to see
Mrs Trellis was stood at the kitchen wall , and wasn’t one for being kept waiting
She was fanning the freshly baked sour dough bread I had left on the wall to cool
“ I’ve just chased away a magpie !” She told me reproachfully
Blue, her greyhound, fidgeted in his blue coat by her side
I offered her one of the loaves
She refused but pointed at the other
“ I’ll take the other one “ she said “ Blue’s already licked it”
