Lord Milner and the train to Sutherland


I think Lord Milner Hotel would like this story - a story by Charlie and Tyra.  Charlie is in the picture above.  The years when I were not yet 4 years of age, my biological parents were denied to sleep over in the Lord Milner Hotel, the Hotel in Matjiesfontein as the Hotel staff feared for me to scream and therefore disturb the peace of others also in the Hotel.  I have no idea if Lord Milner would have handled the situation the same way.

Anyway, so as my biological father was still in mourning after the death of his biological mother, a few days after we returned from the funeral, I got shot and eventually myself and my biological parents at some stage after this found ourselves searching for a place to stay.  I don't think we felt welcome in this world at all as we decided to go to the sea.  With the chihuahua team. 

In our search we were with the two chihuahuas at towns and areas like George and Mosselbay and Knysna, my biological parents decided they would like a bit of escape and wanted to visit a casino.  The two dogs were in their car and as they wanted to enter the casino, the two decided it would be the right time to put up a very, very loud noise about this event.  My biological parents were denied again in some way, entrance to a hotel, only this time one which have a casino and it was the two dogs who put up a loud noise who was this entertaining.  I came to their rescue and took the two dogs for a walk by the sea.

What would Lord Milner have had to say about this?  Probably have a laugh now.  Can two chihuahuas really be capable of this?

Anyway, we still had to find a hotel for us all to stay in.  We asked at a few places and were denied - two little chihuahuas were behaving now, still, we were trying at places where we were denied to stay over because we were looking for a place for them as well.  Eventually in Haroldsbay, we found a hotel who were willing to have us all as guests.  A whole train to Matjiesfontein event all over as if in search of the Lord Milner Hotel all over again to allow us as guests.

To this day I fancy places that resemble the place where we all stayed over in Haroldsbay.
