Sherbet wants to go to church

Happy Sunday to all of my dear and loyal friends from nearby and far far away.
 I came out for my morning walk in the countryside and here I am sitting on the gate of a lovely old church.
 I wanted to go in but as I am wearing my country walking clothes,  I did not think it seemed respectful  for me to wander into the church  today and join in the Sunday service. I can just imagine me sitting there in the front row with everyone dressed in their Sunday best and me a true country bumpkin in my muddy boots. I know that my soul is more important than the clothes I am wearing but I still think it  best that I come back another time . Maybe next week I will put on my smart shirt and come again as I am sure there are many wise words said in this church that I would like to listen to. Love from your Sunday Sherbetx

Sherbet is wearing his red glasses

Surprise ! Here I am again. Maybe you don't recognise me but it really is me . I have put these glasses on so that I can see a little bit better but in fact I cannot see any better, everything looks just the same to me. Oh well, I may as well take them off and return to my usual handsome self. At least when I look in the mirror without the glasses on, I will know who I am. It is always a good idea to know who we really are .  Love from Sherbetx

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers in the countries that are having their special day today. To everyone else I am wishing you a very happy and blessed Sunday.
 I have decided to sit here surrounded by my daisies and meditate today, so I am not going to talk much except to say goodbye for now . Love Sherbetx

Sherbet's friends are helping him in his garden

I have so much work to do in my garden after being away for so long in the forest that I have asked my good friends  Pearl, Doodle and Mango to help me tidy up my overgrown vegetable patch and my weedy flower beds. This evening we will all enjoy a scrumptious dinner together in my cosy kitchen and share stories of the adventures we have had in the last few months. I must go now as my friends just love to ride in my wheelbarrow and they are all waiting for me. Love from Sherbetx

Mango has taken a photo of Sherbet

Well, here I am, yes it is me !
 I know I am not looking like my usual handsome self but you see, it was Mango who took this picture and he is so little that he has trouble holding the camera and aiming it properly.  So this is a Mango eyed view of me, Sherbet Sheep, looking a bit like the aliens that abducted me some time back. I hope my ears aren't really that huge! I don't like to sound vain but I will ask Doodle to take a new photo of me tomorrow so that I can see what I really look like. I am feeling a little bit worried that I really do have ears as big as this.

It is Springtime at Clover Cottage

Spring time is here at Clover Cottage and I am waking up very early every morning to water my one pink rose and my other flowers. Oh, how I love the fresh morning air and the peace and quiet.
Also I am very proud to be able to tell you that I have the most magnificent tomato plants and every day I look at my tomatoes and wait for them to change from green to red.  Oh what a joy it is when I see a ripe tomato just waiting to be picked and added to my rainbow coloured salad.  Love from Sherbet x

Sherbet is grateful to be back in his cosy bed

Ah, how luxuriously cosy to be back in my own bed again after spending so many nights sleeping on leaves in my woodland hut.
 I am so grateful to have this comfy bed but  I am so glad I spent time in the peace and quiet of the forest watching the birds. It was so wonderful just to be still and to live right there in the present moment with just the sounds of the little creatures snuffling about in the undergrowth and the leaves rustling in the wind. I did miss my kitchen and my vegetable garden but I had my wise words books with me and a very good wind up lamp which did not need electricity. What a wonderful invention for  an adventurous sheep like me and for anyone who likes to sleep in dark, lonely, forest huts under pitch black night skies with just twinkling stars and creepy crawly things for company!  Oh, now I am scaring myself so I am going to sleep.
 Goodnight  from me, Love Sherbetx

Sherbet has been studying a woodpecker

 Today is my birthday and also the birthday of my dear friend Reginald Rabbit who now lives in a wonderful place far far away . I stop myself being sad about that because I know that at the same time he is here with me every day.
 I have been away for a long time.
 Oh how I have missed you all.  I have been living in the nearby forest studying the life of a very rarely seen spotted woodpecker.   Oh how I love that little woodpecker. I first saw him when he made a visit to the oak tree in my garden . When he flew away, I followed him to the forest at the end of Wiggleway Lane, to see where his nest was.
 I then went back again the next day and made a hidey hole hut.  I collected  fallen branches that had lots of leafy bits on them and started making my hut.  When it was cosy enough and waterproof enough and windproof enough and completely finished to the best of my ability, I went back to Clover Cottage to stock up with all the things I would need to survive for a few weeks alone in the forest. I loaded them all into the basket on my bike and rode back to my hut. Oh what an adventure it was.  I sat for hours and hours in silence waiting for the woodpecker to show up and when he did I was filled with delight!  I watched him and wrote notes about him and made lots of little drawings of him.  When night time came,  I was a little bit afraid sleeping in my hut all alone. It was very dark and I kept hearing an owl hooting nearby.  I told myself it was not a ghost and that made me braver.  Well  now I am back at Clover Cottage and enjoying my comfy bed and my cosy kitchen again.  I must say I will always visit my new woodpecker friend but at the same time I do so hope he visits me in  my garden again to spend time in my oak tree. Love from Sherbetx
