Happy Birthday to Sheila Sheep

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Sheila Sheep, I am just having a scrumptious, fruity drink to celebrate her special day. I am sorry I cannot be with her to share memories of when we were just little lambs together but as you can see, I am far far away from Clover Cottage at this moment.
 Love from Sherbetx

Happy Birthday Sheila Sheep

Happy Birthday to my dear and loyal friend Sheila Sheep. I have known Sheila Sheep ever since we were both little lambs . Here I am, in this picture, giving her lots of presents with a truly scrumptious birthday cake on top.
I must tell you that I have sent a pretty little gift with the postman in the red van to take to Sheila Sheep at the seaside I do hope he drives fast enough and delivers it safely to her in time.
 What fun it is to have birthdays.  My own birthday is February the third just like Reginald Rabbit.
That is a long way away but I am still looking forward to it as it is a time when Pearl bakes me her special delicious, scrummy, nutty,  chocolate cake .
Mmmmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
 I do hope Sheila Sheep will have some truly scrumptious goodies to eat on her birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHEILA SHEEP  Love from Sherbetx

Sheila Sheep is going to a big hospital today

 Today I have a little bit of news.   The postman with the red van brought me a  letter from my dear friend Sheila  Sheep who lives at the seaside.  She has told me that today,  this very day,  she has to go to a big hospital to see a special doctor.  Sheila Sheep has a little bit of a  problem in one of her lovely brown eyes and the doctor is going to make it all better for her.
So here I am, the famous Sherbet Sheep of Clover Cottage in Wiggleway Lane, sending her a big garden full of flowers to make her feel  loved and to tell her not to worry, as everything will be alright.  Everything is always alright in the end.
  Love from Sherbet Sheep to Sheila Sheep x

Sherbet is a little bit worried about Sheila sheep

Oh, hello dear friends.  Here I am back at Clover Cottage. How delightful it is to be sitting on my grass again after all those weeks of  snow.
 I am a little bit sad today though as my dear friend  Sheila sheep is a little bit unwell.  She is resting and trying to feel well again.  For the last days of my visit to her she was not able to come out for walks with me.  I did miss her very much in those days as we always have such fun together.  We laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.  I know that she will be better very, very soon though as her very good and kind friend Mark mole is looking after her extremely well.  I am so grateful to know that he is caring for her and I am sure that he is making her big bowls of lovely, rainbow coloured, healthy soup.

 Soon it will be my birthday. My birthday date is 3rd February, the same as that of my special friend Reginald rabbit. Maybe Reginald will be able to visit me on that day and we can share  the delicious birthday cake that Pearl is going to make me.   Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is going to have some adventures at the seaside

 I just feel like dressing up today.
 By the way I forgot to tell you that  I am going to visit Sheila Sheep at the seaside tomorrow.  Maybe there will be less snow where she lives and I will not have to worry about sliding over all the time.  My own garden though has thawed out a bit so I can see my grass again.  Oh how I have missed it!
 I will be a little bit busy having adventures and smiling a lot so I will write to you when I  have a little gap in my days.
 For now I wish you all the most  lovely rainbow coloured days until I talk to you again.
 Love from your dear, loyal friend Sherbet Sheepx .

Sherbet is meditating at the seaside

Hello dear friends , I do miss you all and I have not written lately because I am having lovely quiet rest at the seaside and  I just want to meditate and stay in peace. I will then have my seaside adventures with Sheila sheep and tell you all about them soon but at the moment I am having a very good rest indeed . Love from Sherbet .

Sherbet has arrived at the seaside but is very tired

Oh hello dear friends,  I must tell you that I have arrived at the seaside and I am very happy indeed to see the smiley face of my old friend Sheila sheep again.  I see that she has had her wool cut into a very lovely wavy style and she looks very beautiful indeed .
I am afraid I am not very good company for her yet though because I am very, very tired after my long journey so I am not quite ready to enjoy lovely long walks along the beach.  I am going to rest and sleep for a long time until I have my strength back then when I wake up I will have a spring in my step again and I will start to enjoy my little holiday by the sea and the very delightful company of my dear friend Sheila sheep.  I will see you all again when I wake up !
 Love from a very sleepy Sherbet sheep x

Sherbet is going to the seaside

Well, as you can see I am a little bit dressed up today.  I  have started to pack my suitcase  because soon I will be leaving to stay with Sheila sheep at the seaside. Oh what fun I will have.  I am so looking forward to having long walks along the beach, frolicking in the sand dunes and then relaxing in  a wonderful cafe that Sheila sheep is going to take me to, called Cafe Blah Blahh.  I have heard that they make the most delicious healthy food and I am really hoping to meet the Queen of England there too as I know she has a country house nearby and she may just pop in for a cup of tea while I am there.
 I will talk to you again when I am settled into Sheila sheep's house and when I have unpacked my suitcase.
Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is back from his little holiday

Oh my dear, dear friends from all over the world.  How absolutely wonderful to see you all again.  I am back from my little holiday and I have missed you so much.  You will be glad to know though that I have had a lovely rest at the seaside with Sheila sheep after wearing myself out so much at my very own Olympics.  Sadly though Sheila sheep was not feeling very well for some of the time. She was being looked after very well by Mark mole so I went to have some adventures on my own.  I thought it would be a nice change to go birdwatching as there is a magnificent forest near to the beach.  It may not sound like much of an adventure to some of you,  but  Oh my goodness, it was so exciting to me !  I woke up very early in the morning,  I could hear the birds singing their delightful morning chorus already, and I crept very quietly into the forest.  I stood very, very still, I could hear lots of birds twittering and squawking happily in the trees so I waited and watched.  All at once I heard a tap tap tapping noise very close to my ear tops and I looked up and saw 2 beautiful green woodpeckers making  holes in  the trunk of a lovely old tree.  What a magnificent sight they were.  I came out of the woods, satisfied that I had seen some special birds and following me were 5 swallows, or they may have been swifts,  I get them all  muddled up as they both have those forked tails.  I will ask Pearl to explain to me how to tell the difference.  I think she is going to tell me that swifts whizz about faster than swallows.  Anyway that started off one of my mornings quite nicely and when I returned the following morning the woodpeckers had returned to the same place and were still working very hard on their hole making job.
I did manage to meet up with Fifi fish again as I had hoped,  I was so delighted to see her.  I had a little paddle in the sea near to where she lives and she showed me her new underwater garden. She was growing some beautiful seaweed and had surrounded it with a delightful collection of sea shells.  I know it is difficult for her to visit me and stay in my garden pond as she cannot travel out of the water but maybe one day I can transport her in a big, water filled jar and she could come and enjoy a holiday in my garden at Clover Cottage. What a good idea !  I am sure my frogs would be delighted to share their pond with her.  I must talk to Sheila sheep about it, she is very kind and helpful so maybe she could help me to transport Fifi to Clover Cottage one day.
I have been very happy to relax at the seaside,  I have had lots of early morning walks, eaten lots of healthy food, read lots of wise words from my wise words books and I have put some colour in my cheeks.  I am now back at Clover Cottage and I see that, while I was away, the naughty slugs have also had a holiday in my garden, they have eaten lots of my  lettuce leaves. You will all be very happy to know though, that my tomato plants have not been eaten and have grown very high.  I should be seeing some new baby tomatoes very soon.  Love and blessings from Sherbetx

Sherbet is going to the seaside to put some colour in his cheeks

Pearl told me that she was a little bit worried about me and that my cheeks were looking a little less rosy than usual. She thinks I have worked much too hard over the last week and  has advised me to go and spend some time at the seaside with Sheila sheep. What a wonderful idea.  It is such a long time since I have seen my dear friend at the seaside. I do miss her and I also miss my lovely relaxing walks along the beach, scrambling in and out of the sand dunes. I will be very glad to see Fifi fish again as she has become such a good friend to me. I am sad that she could not come and join in the Swimming race at my very own Olympics as I know she would have won. The trouble is she cannot stay out of the water for long so she can not travel to Clover Cottage.  I must pack my bag now ready for my journey to the seaside. Pearl has made me some delicious sandwiches made with fresh, crusty, grainy bread  and has wrapped up a slice of  home made apple pie for me to take with me. I am so grateful and very blessed to have Pearl as my friend, she really loves to look after me.
 Goodbye to you all, I will send you  rainbow coloured blessings from the seaside. Please all keep happy and safe while I am away.
 I will see you all when I get back from my little holiday. I am going to put the colour back in my cheeks and enjoy myself at the same time. Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is knitting a purple scarf

Oh what a lovely sunny day it is today.  I have decided to sit on my grass and knit a scarf for my dear friend Sheila sheep who lives at the seaside.  She loves the colour purple and last time I saw her she told me that her neck gets very cold in the blowy, seaside wind.  Even though she has a cuddly woolly coat just like me, it seems that she is a little bit more delicate and a little bit thinner than me so she feels the cold more.  The scarf is nearly finished now and I love knitting so much that I think I will knit one for myself.  It does get very cold here at Clover Cottage in the winter time and I know that I have to wrap myself up warmly when I go out to make my snowmen and give the hedgehogs their milk every day.  (Oh I nearly forgot, I wonder if my hedgehogs will be hibernating for the winter months. I must remember to ask them )  Winter, winter, winter.  Brrrr !  It makes me shiver to think of it.  I am so blessed to have this sunny day today and I am going to enjoy it because time just seems to be whizzing by and before I know it,  my garden will be covered with snow again. Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is a little bit worried

Oh dear, I am a little bit worried today because it was Sheila sheep's birthday yesterday and I am not sure if the postman with the red van has delivered her present yet.  I do hate to be late with things, but as Sheila sheep lives far far away at the seaside, it is a long way for the postman to drive to.
 I will just have to be patient.  Pearl always tell me that patience is a virtue and that everything is always alright in the end.
 Anyway, what I am going to do to stop me worrying is to give Sheila sheep this lovely pot of flowers in my thoughts, as I know that it is always the thought that counts the most.  I know that she will catch my thoughts in her head and receive the flowers. So until the postman delivers her gift, she will be happy to have the thoughtful flowers.
   I do so hope she had lots of fun on her birthday and I do so especially hope that she had a scrumptious birthday cake to share with Mark mole and maybe even Fifi fish, if she could find her.  If Sheila sheep could have been here at Clover Cottage we would have had a party and Pearl would have baked one of her most delicious cakes.  I wish everyone good and lovely thoughts today as thoughts really do count!
Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet has delightful memories of the seaside

Oh, hello Everyone,  I am still dreaming about the wonderful time I had at the seaside with my old friend Sheila Sheep. I must tell you that I actually went into the sea, it was a bit cold but I put my head under the water and could not believe my eyes when I saw lots of  beautiful, rainbow coloured fish swim right past my nose. I was a little afraid that my wool would soak up all of the seawater and make my head  too heavy to lift out again but it was OK, I managed to pull my head up. When I did though I felt something tickling my ears, Sheila Sheep told me I had seaweed stuck to my wool and she very kindly picked it all off for me so that I would not look silly walking home. Anyway I must also tell you that I did find Fifi Fish again as I had hoped I would. I went to the exact same spot on the beach where I first met her, I called her name and up she popped out of the water. How wonderful to see her again, how delightful to see her little fishy face smiling at me. We had a lovely chat together and I told her I would visit her again next time I came to the seaside, unfortunately she cannot visit me as she cannot stay out of the water for long,  but if she could get to Clover Cottage I do have my garden pond that she could stay in, I am sure my frogs would welcome her.  Back to my lovely seaside memories, I had such a relaxing time with Sheila Sheep, we had lovely long walks on the beach and we sat in the sand dunes eating delicious picnics. I have to tell you though that when the wind blew sand into my sandwich I did not at all enjoy eating the crunchy sandy bits that stuck to my bread. Not yummy at all! The weather was just perfect though, not hot and not cold, just lovely, breezy, soft wind blowing my woolly coat around. It was the kind of weather that makes me feel truly blessed to be alive. Ah, how wonderful to be living on this planet Earth with all of it's rainbow coloured happenings.  We are all so blessed. Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is going to visit Sheila Sheep at the seaside

Hello everyone,
 I feel like a bit of a change of scene so I have decided to go and visit Sheila Sheep at the seaside.
 I cannot wait to have lovely long walks along the beach and breathe in that delicious fresh sea air. I must tell you that I do so love the seagulls that swoop and fly above my head. I love to hear seagull noises first thing in the morning as I am waking up, sometimes I think I would like to be a seagull, they seem so light and free soaring towards the clouds, not at all like me in my big woolly coat. Sometimes though they can be very naughty indeed. I remember one time when I was sitting on the sand with Sheila Sheep enjoying a wonderful picnic when a seagull swooped right down and snatched my sandwich out of my hand! Now there is a funny thing - I just realised that I said SAND wich and I was sitting on the SAND !!
Anyway, yes, seagulls can be very naughty but I still love them just as I love all the creatures on this planet Earth.
I do hope it does not rain at the seaside as I do not want to have a soggy woolly coat on the beach but at the same time I do hope it rains at Clover Cottage while I am away so that my one pink rose and my vegetable garden stay healthy and happy. I will talk to you all when I get back, I will be away for a few days. I am so looking forward to seeing Sheila Sheep again as I do miss her so much and I am also secretly hoping that I will find Fifi Fish at the same place in the sea as I last saw her. Oh there is so much to look forward to. Love from Sherbetx  

Sherbet makes a brand new friend at the seaside

Hello dear friends I am still having a few days rest at the seaside where I am spending  a wonderful time with Sheila Sheep and Mark Mole. It isn’t really the weather for sunbathing. The sun is shining but the wind is blowing a bit too hard and making my wool stand on end. We did go to the beach though and had a lovely walk. I stopped every now and then to help some of the little crabs get back into their crab holes to escape the fierce wind and I was careful not to crush any shells under my feet. 

One of the things I really do love about the seaside is the cry of the seagulls above my head, well, I don’t really mean cry in the sad sense as they were not crying tears but I mean the sound that comes out of their beaks when they speak! It just makes me feel happy. I must tell you all that I made a new friend at the beach yesterday. I was paddling in the sea which I must say was a  little bit cold, and I saw a pretty little fish swimming by.  I put my head under the water and tried to speak to her but, oh dear, bubbles just came out of my mouth so the little fish jumped out onto my hand for a minute and we had a little conversation.  She said her name was Fifi Fish and that she lives a wonderful life,  full of adventures under the sea. She told me she had so many wonderful, little sea creature friends, the kind that I never see at Clover Cottage.  It all sounded so exciting that I told her that I would remember her and make her my new friend and that when I come to the seaside again in the future,  I would come to  look for her again.  Now that I know her name it should not be too difficult. Sheila Sheep and Mark Mole helped me make a huge pile of rocks and shells to mark the spot in the sea where Fifi lived and they promised to visit her often too.  Sheila Sheep told me she would write me letters to give me news of my new friend Fifi.   How lovely to make brand new friends even if she does live quite far far away.

Sheila Sheep's giraffe dream

How funny, I was just telling you about my silly dancing crocodile dream yesterday and guess what ?

This morning I had a letter from Sheila Sheep who lives at the seaside. She wrote to  me about a strange, scary dream that she had earlier this week. She told me that she had woken up with her heart beating fast in the middle of the night, she was feeling afraid  because she had just had a dream or maybe it was a nightmare, of a big giraffe trying to get into her bedroom window. In the dream the giraffe, who actually was quite beautiful and nothing to be scared of really, was knocking his nose on the window and suddenly the window broke and he jumped in and started to leap awkwardly around her room. Again, in her dream she hid under her bed covers and was terrified. Sheila was just about to cry out for help when she woke up and looked around believing the dream to be real. Of course it wasn't real and there was no giraffe to be seen. It is strange though, as I know in real life Sheila Sheep loves giraffes and she does know that there is nothing to be afraid of. How funny that both myself and my old friend Sheila Sheep both had  interesting dreams this week.

Sherbet writes letters to his friends who live far away then picks spinach for his tea

Today I did not do too much as I had worked a lot in my garden yesterday so today I spent some time reading my books and writing some letters to my friends that live far away, Sheila Sheep and Kathy Cat and Reginald Rabbit. I miss them all very much but writing long letters to them helps me feel close to them and I know they love to hear my news. I tell them about all the adventures that happen in my amazing garden.  I have so much news lately, news about Kizzie the horse and the cows' party and my cup cake party and so many other interesting things. When I had finished my letters and had put them in envelopes with stamps on ready to post in the post box at the other end of Wiggleway Lane, I went out to pick some spinach from my vegetable garden. There was so much spinach it was a real joy to pick it and I know it is so good for me. I piled it high into my basket as I know that when I cook it, it becomes so much smaller so I have to cook lots and lots.  I love spinach and I will eat it this evening and maybe save some for tomorrow too.

Sherbet gets a late Christmas present

What a lovely surprise I had this morning. There was a knock on the door and there stood the postman who delivers letters and parcels in Wiggleway Lane. I was really very happy to see him as we had such a lot of snow over Christmas that he had not managed to get to my cottage in his red postman's van.  I had been worried that his van had been stuck in the snow. He handed me a package and inside, cleverly wrapped inside a pretty Christmas stocking were 2 lovely little books. How beautiful they were. One was from my dear old friend Sheila Sheep and one was from a new friend of mine called Mark Mole who I met when I went to stay with Sheila Sheep at the seaside. It was so very kind of them both to think of me at Christmas time. It makes me feel all warm and huggly to know I have such good friends who really care about me. I wish everyone in the whole world could have wonderful friends like I have.

Sherbet is so tired after working in his garden

Oh I am so tired. I spent all morning weeding and planting new seeds in my garden. But how lovely to spend time sitting on my grass with my friends this afternoon. Pearl made daisy chains, Doodle spent his time drawing the frogs on the pond and Mango went to sleep under the oak tree. I just sat happily watching the birds in the sky and feeling the sun on my face, it reminded me of being on holiday again with my old friend Sheila Sheep. I miss her and wish she could be here now to enjoy this time with us. I am very grateful to have such good friends in my life .
