Here we go again. I should change the name of this blog to Poppi-Poros-Star.
I do have 4 other grandkids. George, Nels, Jamie and Luli. Plus the others we've adopted. Martha and Dimitri and Evita. Stars Every One of Them!
You've heard of The Tall Poppy syndrome? This ones the tallest of them all.
She's up there waving in the wind and woe betide anyone who tries to cut this Poppy down.
OK. Here we go. As soon as she turned 16 she got her motorbike licence. A year later she passed her car licence. Her sister Nels also got both licences as soon as she could. This one's another dare devil. Nels didn't get a licence for a 120cc motorbike. Oh no. She passed her licence on one of those huge 400cc monsters which rush past you with a vrooooom vroooom...leaving you to eat their dust. My daughter Elli and my granddaughter Nels are both speed heads.
And just a note. My 2 grandsons who are both mechanics and learnt their trade on Harley Davidsons have not bothered to get their licences.
Jamie is the same age as Poppi, George is 23. Talk about 'eat their dust'! The girls have left you a million miles behind.
Wake up boys.
Poppi is always looking for a new challenge. As are her sister and cousin, Nels and Luli. Strong women, with the best of kiwi and greek blood
A few weeks ago she got her speed boat licence. Yup, she's now Captain Poppi.
Next month she will be picking up her lifeguard diploma.
Heaven knows what else she's got in mind for the future
Collective spit everyone
Ftoo ftoo ftoo
Wow. Don't mess with Poppi!
ReplyDeleteI am covered with spit now, thanks Linda.
She's going to go far... On a wave of spit 😅😅 get ready to duck
DeleteWell done, Poppi - living life to the full and at full speed ahead.
ReplyDeleteThe grandchildren are a determined bunch. Brought up in the security of a small Greek island!! There's something to be said for this backwater!
DeleteThey sound like really cool young people - good to have character and personality.
ReplyDeleteThey've all got lots of character! Very bossy too lol
DeleteGood on her - sailing qualifications next…
ReplyDeleteYou're right!! That will be next.
DeleteDefinitely spit three times.
ReplyDeleteAll your family is such a healthy happy bunch
I actually got my license to be able to drive the boat.
I’ve never used it. It was more for an emergency
And now I’ve pretty much forgotten everything so no boat driving for me
Good for you!
DeletePoppi the wonderwoman.
ReplyDeleteI make her sound like wonder woman. I'm a rather biased Nana
DeleteGood for her! My grandson has a Lifeguard cert'. He's just stated Uni, but will be 'saving lives' as his holiday jobs.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great holiday job. She's hoping to spend next summer at the beach.
DeleteWell done to them both
