Mum came round searching for our hidden eggs today - she rooted in the bales and the logshed and didn't manage to find them all! Haa! Apparently it is Pancake Day and we are supposed to eat all the leftovers before Lent begins tomorrow. No problem. And we will deal with Lent, whatever that is, tomorrow. In Scotland they roll finely ground wetted meal into a pancake shape and then roast it in the hot ashes from a mill kiln. It is called a 'Festy Cock'. I'm jolly glad that I'm not in Scotland on Shrove Tuesday as Mum sometimes calls me that name in the mornings! Gordon x

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
