Acorns and Blackberries

22/8/2011

 
Ron and Nog came hurrying across the yard this morning.
"Can you please help us to Rap, Uncle Gordon?"
I felt quite pleased that they had sought my worldly knowledge and I replied in a sage-like manner:
"Of course boys! Are you going to a party?"
"Yes," Nog nodded. "Lisa is having a party next weekend. We want to Rap like Acon!"

"Then fetch me some nice big dock leaves and some burrs and we will make a start."
Ron and Nog looked slightly taken aback at this, but trotted off to the top of the field, whilst I pondered upon the strange choice of present for Lisa.
"Aaah! Good. Now pop those acorns inside the dock leaf and fasten it like this," I deftly twisted the burrs with my beak and the gift looked beautifully wrapped in no time at all.

Picture
"But Uncle Gordon - we want to Rap like Acon! Not wrap an acorn!" Ron and Nog tried their best not to giggle. I suppose I could see the funny side.
"You know boys, I am really quite well-up with technology - I am on Facebook!" I had struggled for some more modern terminology and decided 'well-up' although a bit old-fashioned was more appropriate than 'cool'. And they would have giggled again anyway.
"You should go on Twitter, Uncle!" Ron enthused. "You need a BlackBerry."

    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
