A March Update

15/3/2012

 
Can a month really have passed since we last wrote in our diary? It has been interesting to look back on last year's entries and compare the time of year. The primroses are behind this spring - but that is probably due to the late cold weather. There is loads of frogspawn in the pond by the meadow; the wild birds are twitterpated and we are starting to lay eggs. Us Sebrights are off to a slow start - just making sure the weather really is warming up - but the Rosecombs are laying like Billy-O. (Who was Billy-O?).
This morning is shrouded in the thickest of fog and it is chilly with it. Lois is still enjoying a little dry hay in the morning, but starting to munch contentedly through the day on grass. Peter Rabbit and his family are thriving and Mr & Mrs Fox too! Kizzie and her friend saw two hares in the field yesterday - so big that at first they thought they were roe deer! The Fieldfare gang and the Long Tailed Tit gang provide a subtle and sweet background melody - in contrast to the raucous squabbling of the Rooks which are set to menace us until the end of June again.

Harry has been showing us his new tail - which is growing still longer every day. He tries to sneak up and wrap it around us so that we have to try and dodge underneath to escape. He thinks it is very amusing. Strange bird.
Ron, Don, Drongo, Nog, Lisa  and the rest of last year's offspring are all grown up. They left Poole Tree College with excellent qualifications. Don took the top prize in the study of soil - presented by Terry Firma; Ron excelled at IT and won the "Joy Stick Award" presented by Meg. A. Byte. Drongo and Nog proved outstanding showmen and won the "Lacing Award" presented by Phil E. Gree. Even Neddie and Seagoon won top prizes in Sport. Who knows what the 2012 hatch will aspire to?

    About Us

    Hello! My name is Gordon and I am a Gold Sebright and my best friend is Sylvia. She is a Silver Sebright. We live with our foster parents on a small farm in the country.  We thought that we would put our take on life and what we get up to through the year into a diary for you. All the characters are real and the events are a true record,  interpreted with a modicum of poetic licence. We hope you enjoy it. Love Gordon and Sylvia
