Happy Christening day to Princess Charlotte

I just wanted to say Happy Christening day to my dear friend Princess Charlotte, who is the new baby sister of my other dear friend Prince George.
 How wonderful to see them strolling along to the church on the Queen's Sandringham Estate. in the beautiful county of Norfolk in England . A nice quiet family occasion.
 As you can see from my photos below,  I am waiting patiently at the gates of Anmer Hall near Sandringham for them to return.
 This is the new home of Princess Charlotte and Prince George and their parents  Kate and William.
 I must tell you a naughty secret though .  I am not really sitting there right this minute as these photos were taken before the lane leading up to the hall was blocked off. It was during the time when renovations were taking place for the young family to live in and I crept in and had my photos taken there right by the gate .
 I am afraid that now I will only be able to go in and see my friends when they send me a special invitation to a tea party.
Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is still in the village of Anmer


Here I am showing you more pictures of my visit to Anmer village church. It is the local church next to the new future home of  William and Kate. How blessed they are to have this lovely little church right on their doorstep!   I am just having a nice rest before I explore the  village.
 Here I am a little bit later in my day sitting next to this lovely old sign in the village of Anmer in Norfolk

Look at those scrumptious Roman Numerals. What fun !

Ah how blessed I am to have this time to just be. To  just sit quietly listening to the buzzing bees in the hedgerows  and the tweeting birds in the trees above me.
I wish you could all be sitting here with me in the sunshine enjoying this day.
Love from a very relaxed and happy Sherbet Sheep in the village of Anmer in the county of Norfolk in the green and pleasant land of Englandx

Sherbet wishes Prince Philip a very speedy recovery

I do hope my Queen is not feeling too sad today.
  I heard that her dear husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is in hospital.
  I am here to say that I wish him a very speedy recovery and I truly hope he will be back at Buckingham Palace soon.
Maybe, when he comes out of hospital he will be able to have a lovely rest at the peaceful Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
 I just wanted to say that I am sending all of my best rainbow coloured healing thoughts to him today and all of the days that he is in hospital.

King Sherbet the first at Sandringham Gates

Here I am sitting at the top of these high gates at the entrance of the Queen's Sandringham home  in the beautiful county of Norfolk in the green and pleasant land of England. Ah how beautiful these gates are, can you see that lovely little crown at the top?  I wonder if it would fit me?  Maybe I should climb right up to the top and try it on .   I think I would look very handsome as King Sherbet !
 These iron gates are really spectacular.  Here is a little history lesson. They are called the Norwich Gates and have the most beautiful intricate design of flowers and leaves. They were created by a very clever man called Thomas Jekyll.  Here in my other picture you can see a little bit of the detail .
 The flowers look like poppies to me,  one of my favourite flowers  in the whole wide world. I grow them in my garden at Clover Cottage.  It is a little bit strange to see them all in black when in real life they are a scrumptious shade of red.
 I must climb down from these gates and continue on with my sightseeing day.
 Love from King Sherbet the firstx.

Sherbet is feeling very sad at the grave of Prince John

 Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear, I am so sorry you have not heard from me for lots of days.
As you can see I am still being a bit of a tourist and looking around the countryside in the county of Norfolk in this wonderfully green and pleasant land called England.
 You may be wondering what I am doing looking so sad sitting at this grave stone.  Well, you see, this is a churchyard very, very near to the magnificent  country house in Sandringham,  where the British Royal family all love to gather, especially at Christmas time to walk their corgis, to go horse riding and to enjoy the peace and quiet.  This little grave is of  Prince John,  you may not have heard of him as he died when he was only 13 years old.  If you look closely in my pictures you can see the words written on the grave stone.  Prince John was the 5th son of King George V and Queen Mary, the present Queen of England's grandparents.
 You can see that he was born on July 12th 1905 and died January 18th in the year 1919.  Oh what a long time ago that was.  I do hope he  doesn't mind me sitting next to his resting place but I am feeling very sad that he could not have lived longer on this planet.  I am sure though that he is now playing in lovely green fields filled with wild flowers and is very happy in his new home.
 Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is at a medieval castle

 Oh look at me !
I tried to have a little walk around this beautiful castle at a delightful place called Castle Rising in the county of Norfolk in this fair, green country called England,  but it started to rain a little bit and I did not want to get wet ( I am afraid the castle has rather a lot of holes in it! )  So, here I am showing you the  picture on the sign instead.  I must tell you that there is a really huge, deep, scrumptious looking moat surrounding this castle but there is no water in it.  It is from Medieval times so it is very, very  old indeed.  They only have pretend battles now so the moat is just filled in with grass which would be truly great fun to tumble around in. I don't want to get green, grassy stains on my clothes so I will be a good Sherbet Sheep and just look longingly at it instead. Love from your dear friend Sherbetx
