Daisy: Nanny, there’s Robin! Hello Robin!
Robin: Hi, Daisy, how’re you?
Daisy: What you doing, Robin?
Louise: Girls, don’t climb all over Robin! I’m so sorry, we’ve disturbed you…
Robin: Ah no that’s okay. Are you Rowan’s mam? Sorry, I would get up but –
Louise: That’s all right, I can see you’ve been pinned down. Yes, I’m Rowan’s mum – Louise.
Jessica: Robin, what’s that?
Robin: Ah, well, it’s just a daft picture – it’s supposed to be the park.
Daisy: It’s nice. There’s the trees, and there’s the bench, and there’s the flowers…
Daisy: You should draw a doggy just there!
Louise: Daisy, I’m sure Robin doesn’t need your advice on what to draw.
Daisy: It would look better if he did a doggy.
Robin: Ah she’s probably right, I don’t think I’m all that good at doin’ landscapes! I just thought I’d give it a go, but it’s not what I like drawin’ really.
Louise: So, what do you prefer to draw?
Robin: Um – people, animals, that sort of stuff.
Daisy: My Nanny is very clever and she paints very good pictures. She paints doggies and bunnies.
Robin: Aye, I’ve seen ‘em – that’s your paintings at the garden centre, in the coffee shop. I like lookin’ when I meet me girlfriend there for lunch.
Louise: Oh, thank you! Well, I enjoy doing them and they earn me a bit of pocket money.
Daisy: I want to do some drawing!
Louise: Well, you can, Daisy, when we get home.
Robin: You could draw somethin’ now, if you like, Daisy. You can use my stuff.
Daisy: Ooh!
Louise: That’s very kind of you, Robin, but you mustn’t let her use up your sketch book!
Robin: Ah no that’s okay.
Daisy: I’m going to draw some flowers and a doggy.
Louise: Robin, did you know there’s an art club at the community centre? Maybe Lizzie has told you about it.
Robin: Ah – well, no, Lizzie doesn’t know I like drawin’.
Louise: Really? Why is that, then?
Robin: Well…I just never show people me pictures, it’s just – I dunno. It’s just somethin’ I keep to meself.
Louise: Oh that seems a shame. I suppose you wouldn’t be very interested in the art club then!
Robin: Ah – well – not if everyone was gonna look at what I was drawin’!
Jessica: Daisy, draw a bumble bee –
Daisy: No, I finished now – you can draw one.
Jessica: Is that alright, Robin? If I draw a bumble bee?
Robin: Of course it is, pet – you can draw whatever you like!
Louise: Well, maybe you could have a think about the art club, Robin? It’s a nice friendly group.
Robin: Aye, maybe I’ll do that…
