The Big Show

Yes, THAT time of the year is upon us again. Dad was up bright and early and put on his Show Special Pully - you know the one - beige, very dense and only worn on Very Important Days. The alarms had been set at Wattlebury Cottage for 04.15, but Dad gets very excited on days such as these and was up at 03.45. Mum said she heard him go down and make his coffee and get his bits together and she settled back for a snooze. Unfortunately Dad had forgotten to unset the alarms and they rattled noisily at 04.15 when Mum had just slumbered off again. Such is the way of things. This morning is fairly foggy and Dad set off in good time. Half an hour later he returned. He had forgotten his glasses. "We should have made a list" Mum was heard to mutter. And off he went again.
Just three of us have been chosen this year. And very excited they are too. Suzy is representing us in the Gold Sebright Hen class and Freda and Annabelle the Black Rosecomb Pullets are going as well. Freda, Annabelle and their Mother, Dolores, are The Bossy Rosecomb's descendants. Freda will NOT stop chatting - unless she wants to lay an egg. Dad won't be lonely on his journey to Telford anyway. He'll be lucky if he can hear Radio 2 above her incessant chatter.
So we are saddled with Mum. She has her shopping list for the Chicken
Co-Op and has chores on her agenda as long as a bantam's leg. Should be fun! Gordon & Sylvia xxx

    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
