Harry proves you can eat with your tail up!
It is brighter and drier today, thank goodness. Much better for getting about. We were awake early as Dad has taken some of us to a Show where we are on display. I opted to stay at home and amuse myself with the abundance of worms, but we armed Dad with the camera and told him to take a snap or two for our Diary. Kizzie and her friends have gone for the day too - so it is quiet and peaceful at the farm. Apart from Mum trying to teach Bird the National Anthem. And Neddie had an unfortunate episode when he accidentally trod in Mr Fox's doo-doos. He tried to avoid it, having spotted it at the very last moment, but his toe slid in - not a pleasant experience I would think, as Mr Fox has been dining out at SlugFest this week. And we got Mum to take a picture of Harry eating with his tail up - as they said on the radio yesterday that it couldn't be done.
Mrs Buff eyes up the Chocolate Twist
Mrs Buff relished in the last piece of Chocolate Twist that Kizzie had brought Mum home last week. No matter that it was a little dry, she set to it with fervour. Lois was fast asleep in the field, chewing contentedly with her eyes tight shut, and rather unfairly I suppose, we tried to see how near we could get before she knew we were there. Pretty close actually, and poor Lois rubbed her sleepy eyes and blinked in disbelief when she saw us beside her.
As promised, although not exactly when promised, here are some pictures of my new great-nephews and great-nieces. Sylvia also has a few young additions to the silver clan, but I am proud to say my gold line has been far more prolific this season - as you will see. There's Gabriel, Garth, Gavin, Gaylord, Gilbert, Giles, Godfrey, Gregory, Gail, Gemma, Gilda, Gilly, Gloria and Grace - to name a few. And Selwyn, Siegfried, Simeon, Sheena and Suzy are some of the silvers. They have Rosecomb friends and a couple of Buff Orpington friends - and one Rumpless Game!
