Reginald Rabbit is here again

Oh what a wonderful surprise I had when I arrived back at Clover Cottage this morning. There, busily watering my vegetables was my dearest old friend Reginald Rabbit. He had been watching over my garden for me while I was away.
He was as usual bathed in a lovely white light and his fur had it's usual  beautiful, shiny glow. I ran over to give him a huge hug.  I have missed him so much. He told me that he will stay for a few days to help me settle back in to my home, as he felt I may feel a little lonely at first after having been in the company of my friends at the seaside. He told me that Pearl, Mango and Doodle had been very kind in helping with the garden tasks and they would come back this evening. We will then all cook a delicious meal together. I am so looking forward to spending a few days with Reginald Rabbit, we have so much to talk about.  His life is so full of adventures in the place where he lives now which is truly far, far, far, far, far, far away,  but at the same time he is always here with me as he remains in my heart now and forever.

Sherbet remembers a visit to the hospital

What a lovely holiday I have had at the seaside . I  have had a really good rest and now I am ready to go back to Clover Cottage and get back to work in my garden . I must say I have really missed Pearl, Mango and Doodle. I am sure they have taken good care of my garden while I have been away . I left them a big list of some very good instructions for giving milk to the hedgehogs and watering my new little vegetable plants, that have surely grown bigger and stronger by now.

 I have a long journey ahead of me and I will be back in Wiggleway Lane tomorrow. I am writing especially for one of my best friends who lives far far away from Clover Cottage.  His name is Eli and his mother told me he has been  really brave and a real super hero as he had to go to a hospital  last weekend.  Pearl and Doodle took me to a hospital once.  I hurt my leg falling out of the apple tree.  The doctor had to give me a very big injection indeed and even though I did not like it very much I knew it was going to make me feel better so I just thought of happy rainbow coloured days, and it stopped me thinking about it.  After that I felt so much better and went back home to sit in my garden under that same apple tree that caused me all that trouble !

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.

Sherbet searches for his new friend Fifi Fish

Here I am again, still having a lovely rest at the seaside. I decided to go for a walk on the beach again today as the weather is very warm and there is a soft breeze that feels very pleasant indeed.  I thought I would go to search for Fifi Fish. I found the pile of rocks and shells that we had made a few days ago to mark the spot where Fifi lived,  it was still standing strong and had not been washed away with the tide.

I paddled in the sea, peering down into the clear water  searching for Fifi  but she must have been out doing her fishy tasks because I could not see her anywhere.

I did however see lots of other beautiful fish swimming past me and I very much enjoyed watching these rainbow coloured  sea creatures as they swam past my legs. I would love to be able to take them home to live in my garden at Clover Cottage but I am afraid the pond where the frogs live just isn’t big enough and Pearl  has told me that the fish at the seaside like to live in salty water and that is where they are happy.  Pearl is very wise, everywhere I go I keep her good advice in my head and it is always there when I need it.

Meditation, silence and peace

Oh what a lovely sunny day here at the seaside. Sheila Sheep and I will start our day just sitting on the beach watching the waves rolling in and out .  When we have finished doing that, we will just have a peaceful time with our thoughts, as we do not feel like talking much today.  We will find a comfy spot in the sand dunes and just sit side by side and enjoy the silence. We will meditate for twenty minutes and then I think we will collect shells and feed the seagulls. Yes, that seems like a good plan for our day.  I only hope I do not get sunburned ear tops, I can hear Pearl’s advice in my head this very minute, she is telling me to be sensible and to put some sun cream on my ears, nose and cheeks ! 

Sherbet imagines Fifi's underwater life

Today I am still at the seaside, and after meeting Fifi Fish yesterday I started to think of her adventurous life under the sea. I am imagining all kinds of wonderful things. I wonder if she has any mermaid friends under there? I have lots of pictures in my mind of how everyday mermaid life under the sea could be.  I imagine they make beautiful seashell gardens and wear clothes made out of seaweed and shells.  How wonderful it must be.  I wish I could go under the waves and have a look but I cannot even swim. If I tried, I think my wool would get so heavy with water that I would sink to the bottom!

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.

Sherbet is away at the seaside

Oh my goodness. I wonder if anybody missed me yesterday? Well the truth is, the postman brought me a letter from Sheila Sheep who asked me to come quickly to the seaside as she was missing me so much. So, here I am, now, today, at the seaside.  I'm staying away for several days so I will talk to you all when I get back. I've planted all my new seeds so I deserve a rest as well. I'm sure I'll have great fun with Sheila Sheep as we always have a scrumptious time together full of rainbow coloured days. Love from Sherbet x
