The Rain in Spain and The Fishcake

3/9/2011

 
Kizzie has gone to Spain. She flew at a height of 35,000 feet, doing 490mph on Wednesday. Wow! That's even faster and higher than Perry Green the Falcon that Mum sometimes sees near the top of the Downs. We decided to perch on the top of the gate and fly into the yard and see who could land the farthest away - and one of the lightest and nimblest Rosecombs won. Truffle and Mrs White couldn't even make it onto the gate. Anyway, Kizzie texted Ron (he is the only one with a mobile) to say that yesterday she had pouring rain and thunderstorms - and we were bathed in scorching sunshine in Wattlebury! We replied that there was a bit of a nip in the air -well, there was by eight o'clock in the evening! But glad to say that it is 30 degrees Centigrade again today in Spain and Kizzie is sunbathing by the pool.
Mum and Dad went to the nearest village with a shop last night and bought their dinner (we don't have a shop in Wattlebury - only the pub). Cod Fishcakes - 2 packs of 2 for £2. And some new potatoes and runner beans. They loaded the shopping bag into the back of their car alongside Harvey and headed for home. Harvey was strangely quiet and Mum glanced around to see him negotiating the Fishcakes. The label had come off, but luckily the cellophane proved as tricky for him as it does for humans and he hadn't actually got a tooth into the Fishcake. Mum laughed (she thinks a lot of Harvey) and Dad swerved as he thought he had lost his dinner. Harvey had a sort of sad and pitying look on his face. When they got home, Dad came and shut us up for bedtime. Then his phone went off. Dad isn't too good with his mobile and it is one of the first models, Ron told us. And Mum was whispering. So off went Dad and we all wondered what the secretive message was all about. (Mum and Dad are too old for that sort of thing).
And Mum told us this morning that whilst she was getting the washing off the line Harvey had bee-lined down the garden and caught a big cock pheasant which had unfortunately strayed in - and he proudly ran back up to Mum with it and dropped at her feet. We said to Mum that he probably had felt sorry for her and Dad having to eat a Fishcake and had caught her something really yummy.
So as we write, Dad is covered in feathers in our Potting Shed, with the poor creature in a state of undress, and tonight's dinner will indeed be a great improvement on the previous one for them. And there might even be a small bit for Harvey and Honey. Gordon x

    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
