Hello from Pearl

Hello from Pearl !  I am one of Sherbet's special friends.  Sherbet has asked me to write and say hello to you all as he is still very busy today. He wants you to know though that he cares about you all very much and he is thinking of you all today with all of his most sincere rainbow coloured thoughts. I myself am looking forward to sharing one of my famously delicious rhubarb pies with Sherbet this evening when he has finished his work. Lots of love from Pearl pigxx

Sherbet’s rhubarb pie dream comes true

Yippee, I had the most delightful surprise this morning . When I walked into my vegetable garden to check on my naughty slugs, there in front of my eyes were huge stalks of ripe rhubarb, all ready for me to pick. My rhubarb pie dream is coming true ! I rushed back into  Clover Cottage, had my breakfast, put on my gardening gloves and boots and then, Oh what a joy – I gathered the most beautiful bunch of rhubarb stalks I had ever seen. I piled them into my bicycle basket and rode along Wiggleway Lane to reach Pearl’s house. I was very careful not to bump my rhubarb too much as I did not want to bruise it. When Pearl saw my smiling face and my armfuls of rhubarb she guessed what I was so excited about as she knows how much I love Rhubarb pie. Pearl promised to make the pie in her most special way and we planned to invite Doodle and Mango to a special dinner tonight at Clover cottage to share Pearl's scrumptious pie.

Dreams do come true! It’s true!

Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet dreams of rhubarb pie

Last night I had a delectable dream. It was so wonderful because I was dreaming all night long about eating Pearl's home made rhubarb pie. Of course, in real life I know she hasn't made it yet because I am still waiting for the rhubarb plant in my garden to grow big enough and tall enough and ripe enough and ready enough to pick.  As I woke up with my head full of rhubarb pie, I jumped out of bed and rushed straight out of my kitchen door to go and check on my rhubarb plant. I had hoped that some kind of miracle might have happened and that I would find a lusciously huge plant, like some kind of Jack and the beanstalk story, but no, it still was not ready to pick.  Oh dear, no pie for me just yet, I will just have to be patient and let nature do it's work. Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet has a delectable vision of rhubarb pie

Oh what a joy!  While I was away spending Easter with Kathy Cat, my rhubarb plant grew and grew.  It must have rained while I was away, unless my dear friends took special care of it for me.  I just love rhubarb. The only trouble is, I have to cook it with lots of brown sugar otherwise it makes my tongue shiver !!  When it is ripe and ready to pick, I will take a whole basket full to Pearl and I know she will make us the most magnificent rhubarb pie. I can hardly wait. I am licking my lips now at the thought of it's scrumptiousness. I have a delectable vision in my head of a lovely rhubarb pie sitting on my kitchen table at Clover Cottage, next to it is a jug of warm, smooth custard and Pearl, Doodle, Mango and I are sitting around the table admiring the pie's perfection.  Oh what absolute yumminess.  I just cannot wait for my rhubarb to grow, but patience is a virtue and it will taste even better because I have had to wait for it. That is one thing I am very sure about !
