And Truffle was mighty put out too and huffed her way back into the barn when the news was broken to her that she hadn't quite made the grade. Nothing that a chocolate eclair won't fix though, I'm sure! Gordon xx
Ten White Pigeons in the Fog The week started out foggy and yet it has stayed mild. Today was really quite warm and we are making the most of the last remaining (probably) vestige of sunshine. We spotted ten white pigeons flying through the foggy sky on Monday. A strange contrast between their snowy white bodies and the pale grey air. Which one of us will be chosen? But the real excitement has been 'The Selection!' Dad has been talking to us about a Big Show coming up soon and if we are smart enough he has promised to take one or two of us along! How exciting is that? I know that it is highly unlikely that Sylvia or I will be chosen - but I like to think we can help get the lucky ones prepared for their outing. So we set about posture training with the pullets and cockerels balancing -- And Truffle sulked off into the barn acorns on their heads. Of course some won't be in the running - Neddie and Seagoon, for example. Their coats are the shiniest of all - with a beautiful fine stranding of gold entwined in the midnight black - ah well!

About UsHello! 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 Archives
