Sherbet sees a wonderful turtle

Hello to all of my friends. It it is a beautiful blue sky day here at the seaside and I must tell you that I saw the most wonderful thing this morning. As I was paddling in the sea with my old friend Sheila Sheep, I felt a big whooshy wave kind of feeling around my legs. I looked down, and there, just under the surface of the water, was a huge turtle swimming around me.  I have never seen one before in real life, but I know what a turtle looks like from the books that I have read with Pearl, Doodle and Mango.  I am wondering if Fifi Fish has made friends with this turtle. All I know, is that Fifi is tiny and the turtle is huge, but Pearl taught me a long time ago, that looking different from each other makes no difference at all, it just makes us each special in our own way and it does not stop us from being friends with whoever we want to be friends with.

I am so grateful that I have all kinds of friends in all  shapes and sizes in all the colours of the rainbow.

Homemade jam proudly displayed

Pearl arrived at my kitchen door just in time for breakfast. She had a gift for me. She was carrying six lovely rainbow coloured jars of homemade jam in all shapes and sizes.  She told me that Doodle had painted special labels for her to stick on the jars and that Mango had helped to cut out circles of pretty cotton fabric to cover the lids with. How pretty they are, they will  look absolutely perfect in my kitchen. In fact they are so lovely, that I am going to display them on the shelves in my kitchen  like works of art and not in the cupboard where they would be hidden away. I am very sure that Pearl, Doodle and Mango are all very proud of the beautiful jars of jam that they all helped to create. Pearl  reminded me that the fruit had been grown by me in my amazing garden. Oh yes ! I had forgotten that I had also played my part in this wonderful row of jam jars that I am so proudly displaying on my kitchen shelf !
