Sherbet is so sad thinking about the people of Paris.

Oh my dear friends, it is such a sad, sad time. Since yesterday I have been thinking and praying for all the people suffering in  Paris.  My heart is aching for them and I wish I could do something to help them. The only thing I can do as Sherbet Sheep is to send them my message of Love and Peace .
  Love from Sherbetx  

 

Sherbet receives a postcard from Paris

Oh what a lovely surprise I had this morning. The postman with the red van  brought me a postcard all the way from Paris. It was from Mango's Aunty Manu.
Aunty Manu told me that the weather in Paris was a little bit cold but the food at her local bistro was as delicious as ever and the market stalls I loved so much when I was there in October were still overflowing with the most scrumptious fruit, vegetables, mushrooms, herbs and of course lots of cheese, smelly cheese, mouldy cheese, yellow cheese, white cheese, orange cheese, crumbly cheese, hard cheese, melty cheese, herby cheese, peppery cheese and even blue cheese but it only has blue bits in it, it is not really blue of course.
 Oh I do miss Paris, it is my favourite city and I cannot wait to go and stay with Aunty Manu and her squeaky floorboards again

Sherbet has a visit from his very good friends Eli and Ada

Happy Sunday to all of my dear friends both nearby and far far away. I truly wish you all a very blessed, happy day with lots of joy and smiles.
I must tell you that 2 of my very special friends, who have moved far far away came back to visit me. Their names are Eli and Ada and they are very good indeed and almost never naughty. They are very clever and artistic and create so many beautiful things. They came here all the way from far far away to enjoy a very special Thanksgiving day and were staying just at the other end of Wiggleway Lane, around a corner and along a very bumpy road indeed!  Today they are travelling back to their new home on a big aeroplane. I will miss them very much indeed until I see them again.
So, that is all for now. I have some very exciting stories to tell you very soon  but for now I will have a little rest and talk to you again tomorrow.
By the way I am not sure if I showed you the drawing book I bought myself in Paris so here it is. Oh please do forgive me if you have already seen it but I am very proud of it and I plan to do my very best drawings in it !
Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet has fun going out to a bistro

I must tell you that I had a lot of fun going out to a bistro in a lovely little Parisian street.
 I am sure they are not used to seeing a sheep like me sitting on the table. The chairs were a little bit too big for me, not like Clover Cottage at all!

I had a truly delightful time reading the menu all in French . I must say that I did remember the French I learned at sheep school very well indeed.

 I am not used to going out in the dark.
  but here I am.  You can see a picture of me below on my walk back from the bistro

Where I live in Wiggleway Lane I only go out in daylight so it was fun for me to see the bright lights in Paris

I have lots of photos to show you of my adventures so I will put some here today and put some more tomorrow.

The only problem I had was that it has been raining a lot here in Paris and I did want to sit on the grass in front of the Eiffel Tower and have my photo taken.
 The grass is wet and I don't think  it is good for me to sit on it.  I must say that I am a little bit worried as I have a little bit of a sore throat and I think it means that I may get a cold .  Oh dear!
On my home from the bistro, very near to Aunty Manu's house I saw a sign that reminded me of the new French Sherbet sheep that I have become in Paris.
 You see, as I said a minute ago I do not go out at night  usually, and now I have been very brave and gone out in the dark! The  little sign below is showing this new brave Sherbet sheep!
I am very proud of myself .

I know you may think I look a little bit drunk  after my evening out in Paris, because my clothes are all crooked, but you know me very well by now and you know I never drink anything except  mint tea, water, hot chocolate, freshly squeezed juices  and home made lemonade.

I think I must ask Kathy cat to make me a raincoat because I really do not like my wool to get wet in the rain or maybe I can find an umbrella that is small enough for me.

When I arrived  back to Aunt Manu's house, I was so tired that I could hardly walk up the stairs. I  have such little legs and the stairs are so steep and go up in a big spiral. I just had to sit down a minute and rest. There is a funny little sign on the old wooden stairs.  I am sure it has been there for hundreds and hundreds  and hundreds of years just like the very squeaky floorboards In Mango's Aunt Manu's house.
 It means WIPE YOUR FEET PLEASE !!  So I did!
Love from a very tired and happy Sherbet sheepx

Sherbet's delicious French breakfast

Oh what a delicious French breakfast I had this morning.
 I woke up early and when I looked out of the window I saw that it was a little bit rainy here in Paris.  Mango's Aunt Manu was still sleeping so I crept out trying not to squeak the floorboards too much.  I took myself on a lovely walk around the corner to a very special boulangerie where I found 2 beautiful crunchy crusted baguettes.
 The rain had stopped and I managed to get them home free of raindrops and soggy bits.
  Aunt Manu had made us a lovely hot pot of tea and had put out 2 kinds of scrumptious home made jam
( confiture). One was made of some special red peaches called vinyard peaches that grow on a tree in Manu's mother's garden, and the other one was made of juicy French apricots.  I could not decide which was the best so I was a little bit greedy and spread both of them on my bread. Yummy yum, I enjoyed my breakfast so much, what a treat it was for me .

 It was Sunday yesterday and it was very quiet in the streets around Manu's house. We both went out and walked and walked, looking in the delightfully beautiful shop windows as we went, the sky was blue, and it was not very cold.  We are eating so much delicious food every day that we wanted to get lots of exercise and so we did,  but when we came home we both felt very tired and just flopped down  and relaxed with a lovely cup of tea.  Yesterday I had bought myself a lovely present from a wonderful shop. A brand new drawing book. Here it is in my picture. Doodle will be very proud of me that I am taking the time to draw while I am here.
I must rush off now as we are going to eat in a very cosy Parisian bistro. I will talk to you all again tomorrow. Love and hugs from a very French Sherbet sheepx

Paris adventures with Sherbet Sheep. What fun!

Oh my goodness, I am having such a wonderful time here in my favourite city, Paris. One of the reasons that I love it here so much is all of the scrumptious food I can see everywhere in every single street and every single market.
It is so delightfully rainbow coloured and it reminds me of my vegetable garden at Clover Cottage except that I could not hope to grow all of the magnificent things I see here.  Every grocery and food shop window and market stall is truly a visual feast and my mouth is watering on every corner.
 I am going to put lots of my photos on my stories pages while I am here so that you can share my experience with me. I wish you could all be walking around these lovely streets with me. It is a little bit cold but I have my woolly coat to keep me warm. As you can see I am wearing a new French beret made for me by the very talented Kathy cat. She is truly very clever indeed .

 I found the very smelly cheese shop that is near to Mango's Auntie's house. I know that both Mango mouse and Manu mouse just love that smelly cheese but I just want to run away from
it !  I think you can see from my picture how very smelly it is, you may even be able to smell
 it !  I found myself  missing Clover Cottage a little bit when I saw a big bunch of carrots that looked a lot like the ones I grow in my garden, How beautiful they were, with lush green leaves and  the  best orange colour, just like carrots should be.

Oh what joy. I saw so many scrumptious looking herbs too,  just waiting to be put into a deliciously healthy dinner. Oh yummy,  I am very excited to see all of this scrummyness. I wish I could grow such big, huge bunches of herbs like the ones I see here.  You must forgive  me for being so madly happy at the sight of all of this absolutely delectable rainbow coloured perfection but as you know healthy food is one of my great passions and it is all displayed so beautifully everywhere I look, a real wonder to behold, as you will see in more of my photos tomorrow .




Tomorrow I will walk and walk and walk again. I might have a lovely ride on the metro too  I know that I am only a little Sherbet sheep but I am a very adventurous sheep and I like to fill my days up with happy things. I wonder what fun things I will see tomorrow.  I will wake up very early and I will go to the shop around the corner and buy a delicious, crunchy crusted baguette for breakfast.
 I must say that I ended my perfect day with a last look at the famous, magnificent Eiffel Tower.

 I am very grateful to have had such a lovely day today. I am very blessed and cannot wait until tomorrow. I wonder what surprises will be in store for me as I wander around the streets again. There is so much to see and to love here.

  When I went back to Mango's Aunty Manu mouse's  house, I tiptoed along on her squeaky floorboards ( they still squeaked loudly) and flopped down in absolute  tiredness. Oh what happy dreams I will have tonight. Goodnight  everyone. See you tomorrow.

From a very tired but happy Sherbet Sheepx

Sherbet has arrived in Paris. What fun!

 Bonjour dearest friends from nearby and far far away. I am here in Paris !  I am a little bit tired and am just resting after my long journey.  It was a very exciting journey, I  travelled all the way from Clover Cottage and Wiggleway Lane to a huge train station in London called St Pancras.  Then  I went on a very big, long, silver train called Eurostar.  It went from London all the way to the middle of Paris. I had seat by the window but I couldn't see out of the windows very well as I am only a very little Sherbet sheep but in any case the train went under the sea inside a big dark tunnel so it didn't matter much that I couldn't see and when the daylight came back again I was in France !   What totally scrumptious fun, I do love to travel. It only took me two and a half hours and then there I was right in the middle of Paris and everyone was speaking French so I had to remember everything I had learned at school very quickly ! Fun! Fun ! Fun!. I am a very fortunate Sherbet sheep because Mango's wonderful Aunt Manu
 ( Manu mouse) was waiting to meet me.  I gave her a great big hug and she took me to her very cosy, warm  house. I must say that her house is very old and has the squeakiest floorboards I have ever walked on in my life!  I am so happy to be here though it is truly a wonderful rainbow coloured adventure. I will be staying here for nearly one week. and  you know me, I will eat lots and lots of  healthy, scrummy food. Of course !.  Salut ! Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet has very exciting news indeed

 I am sitting here on my flowerpot and I am feeling so excited .   I have some wonderful news to tell you. My dear little friend Mango mouse told me that his Aunty, who lives in Paris  has invited me to visit her.( I think maybe she needs help with her garden ! )  I  have decided to go tomorrow. Oh what very good fun!  I love Paris so much, I really do think it is my very favourite city in the whole wide world. Mango's Aunty is called  Manu mouse,  Mango told me that Manu is short for Emmanuelle which is a very long name indeed and I am glad I will not have to call her that when I go. Maybe I should call her Aunty Manu even though she isn't my own Aunty. I am sure she will not mind. I have heard that she is very kind and lives in a warm, cosy house so I am looking forward to staying with her.  Mango told me that there is a shop near Aunty Manu's house that sells lots of different kinds of cheese which he and his Aunty just love to eat. I myself do not eat that French cheese as some of it is very smelly indeed . I am very tired now so I have to get a good night's sleep to make me bright and fresh for my wonderful adventures in Paris. Goodnight dear friends. Happy dreams. Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet has a most charming French visitor

I awoke very early this morning after a very tempting dream of rhubarb pie and custard.
 I opened my kitchen door with a bottle of milk in my hand ready to fill the saucers for my hedgehogs, when I heard a strange and delicate voice. The voice said Bonjour monsieur!  I looked around me and there, coming up my garden path was a beautiful French poodle with a pink bow tied onto a pom pom on her head.
 I said Bonjour to her too and asked her where she was from.  ( Luckily Pearl had taught me to speak some French)   She said she was a visitor here, all the way from Paris. She told me that she had heard of the famous Sherbet Sheep and was curious to meet him. I told her I was Sherbet Sheep and that I was absolutely delighted to make her aquaintance.  When she told me her name was Angelique, I thought she may be an angel!  I asked her to join me in my kitchen for a cup of my special tea made from the mint in my herb garden.  She told me that she found my company most charming. I was very flattered and I felt my cheeks turn a brighter shade of pink, in fact they turned nearly as pink as she was!  After a most pleasurable hour, mostly discussing French food, I might add, it was time for her to leave, so regretfully we said au revoir to each other at my garden gate.  I do hope she visits me again one day, I did so enjoy sharing a pot of mint tea with her.
