Sherbet gets a lovely surprise when Dot the spotty cat brings him some flowers and a message from Kathy Cat

What a pleasant surprise I had this morning. Kathy Cat has sent one of her friends over to give me a message and some flowers. Her friend is called Dot, she is covered in beautiful pink spots. The message is that Kathy Cat will be coming to my birthday party tomorrow. Even though she lives far far away she will find her way here by riding on her friend Kizzie the horse. She said she will also bring Milly Mouse who will ride on Kizzie's head and keep her balance by holding onto Kizzie's ears. That will be lovely,  I do so look forward to seeing my friend Kathy Cat again and maybe as she is coming so soon she can remind Doodle of the names of the trees. I think it is so wonderful how all of my friends are helping each other especially when some of them are so little like Milly Mouse. It would be very difficult for her to come all the way here on her own as her legs are so tiny it would take her such a long time that she would miss the party.

I had a lovely bath this afternoon to make myself especially handsome for my party tomorrow. I used some lovely scented  bubble bath given to me as a birthday present from Pearl, it was scented with flowers from my garden. How lovely it feels to have soft, clean, scented wool.

The cows had a surprise party for Daisy and danced around the field in a long line

Kizzie, the horse from the farm at the end of Wiggleway Lane told me that there had been a very jolly birthday party for the cows that lived in her field. One of the cows called Daisy had a birthday and all the other cows had planned a surprise party. Kizzie said that they played lots of happy music and danced all together in long lines around the field. All the other animals stood around the edge of the field and watched and clapped as the cows danced past them. What a glorious sight to see so many happy cows all together dancing like that, I wish I had been there to see it. I hope Kizzie tells me when the next party at the farm is so I can go and watch the fun too.

Kizzie the horse comes to visit Sherbet

I have to tell you a funny thing that happened to me today. I was in my kitchen eating my lovely breakfast of toast, butter and some of Pearl's delicious home made strawberry jam when I heard someone outside trying to turn the doorknob on my kitchen door. I thought who could that be as usually all of my friends do a little knock knock before they enter. Even though everyone is welcome to Clover Cottage I know that all of my friends like to be very polite and good mannered so they do not just walk staright in without knocking even if my door is always open. It was a bit strange but I was not afraid as I live in a friendly place in the countryside. I peeped out of my kitchen window to see if I could see who it was and I saw a big white tail swishing around.  I opened my door and there biting on my doorknob with her big horse's teeth was Kizzie the sweet old horse from the farm at the end of Wiggleway Lane. She had been trying to get into my cottage to say hello but could not quite manage to turn the knob, of course she has not learned proper manners like my other friends but I understood that she was not being bad mannered she just wanted to be friendly. Kizzie is a special friend of Kathy Cat, while Kathy Cat was here visiting me she spent a lot of time also with Kizzie. Kizzie lets Kathy ride her, they are very best friends. Anyway I took Kizzie to my vegetable garden, pulled up some lovely, big, fresh, crunchy, orange carrots and fed them to her. She loved them, she munched and munched and munched until every little bit was gone. It was a lovely start to my day to have a visit from Kizzie.
