Oh dear, this morning I heard a loud moooooing noise right outside my bedroom window. I know that sound very well as I often hear it when it blows in with the wind on windy days. I quickly put on my boots and opened my kitchen door. I couldn't see anything, but on walking around to my vegetable garden there in front of my sleepy eyes, right in the middle of my lettuce patch, stood a big brown and white cow. Oh my goodness, what a naughty cow ! She had squashed lots of my newly planted, scrumptious lettuce plants. I recognised her as Gertrude from Greengate Farm at the other end of Wiggleway Lane. She was rather big, much bigger than me but she was very friendly. I took a piece of rope from my garden supplies box, draped it around her neck and led her back to her field at the farm. She seemed happy to be back with her friends again but I was not too happy to see a big patch of squashed green leaves in my vegetable garden. I must make sure I keep my gate closed. I do love cows but naughty ones are a bit too naughty to be allowed through my garden gate .
Rainbow coloured love from your friend Sherbetx

Sherbet and his friends visit a farm
Today, Mango, Pearl, Doodle and I went for a walk to the nearby farm at the end of Wiggleway Lane. It was lovely to be out in the fresh air especially for me as I have
been resting in my cottage and I have missed being outside. I do try to
go to work in my garden everyday, even when it is very cold. For our walk we made sure we had our waterproof boots on as we knew it would be muddy at the farm. As
we turned into the farm gates we saw all the farm animals coming to
greet us from the field that they lived in. There was a pig a bit like
Pearl, a sheep a bit like me, a horse, a cow, a hen and my favourite
type of dog, a friendly black and white sheep dog. We gave them some
apples from my tree, they were so happy to see us. The farmer didn't
let them come out of the field as they may get lost but we said hello to
them and told them we would come again soon.
