Sherbet has a very silly dream

Hello  my dear friends from nearby and far far away.
 I am still here at the seaside staying with Sheila sheep and I must say that I am having a really wonderful time.  My legs are getting a little bit worn out as I have been walking and walking and walking and walking. It is not snowing here anymore  and there is no ice left on the pavements so I have not slipped over at all.  Thank goodness for that.    One funny thing happened though that I must tell you  about.    I have been sleeping really well after breathing in so much cold sea air but last night I had a very silly nightmare indeed.  I thought it was real.  When I woke up and before I had opened my eyes,  I  had  the feeling that my whole bedroom was filled with mad flying aliens. I was a little bit worried as I thought they were going to capture me and transport me up in their spaceship to another planet where they would do experiments on me to see what I was made of. Now, on the one hand I know that I would enjoy the adventure of going to another planet and being around aliens but on the other hand I was a little bit worried at the thought of being the subject of an experiment. Also if they never let me come home again, who would look after all the little creatures in my garden and keep my vegetable patch alive?
As it happens,  I am glad it was just a dream as it gives me less to worry about.  Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet is going to have some adventures at the seaside

 I just feel like dressing up today.
 By the way I forgot to tell you that  I am going to visit Sheila Sheep at the seaside tomorrow.  Maybe there will be less snow where she lives and I will not have to worry about sliding over all the time.  My own garden though has thawed out a bit so I can see my grass again.  Oh how I have missed it!
 I will be a little bit busy having adventures and smiling a lot so I will write to you when I  have a little gap in my days.
 For now I wish you all the most  lovely rainbow coloured days until I talk to you again.
 Love from your dear, loyal friend Sherbet Sheepx .

Oh dear, Sherbet's frogs have a frozen pond

I know my ears are squashed all flat in my new scarf  and I know I am not looking as handsome as usual but I really don't mind because I am keeping lovely and warm and snug in  this freezing, snowy weather.  Pearl  always tells me that it is much better to have a kind heart than to worry about what I look like.  Pearl is very wise and she is always right,  so I am  not going to worry about looking  a bit silly with flat ears.
 I must tell you that my pond has frozen over so I have taken my frogs into Clover Cottage until it thaws out.  They are a little bit slimy and they have some pond weed stuck on  their legs so I decided it is best if they stay in my bathroom until they clean up a bit.   At this very moment, they are jumping up and down in my shower like mad bouncing jelly beans, having a truly wonderful time.  I am so blessed to have such happy froggy friends filling my cottage with joy.

Sherbet is checking on his blackbirds

 Happy Sunday to all of my wonderful, loyal, smiley friends from nearby and far far away.
  Here I am sitting in my oak tree.  I was checking to make sure my blackbirds are warm enough in their nests.  You will be glad to know that all is well,  they are very snug , snug as a bug in rug,  so I am not worried about them anymore.  This is just a quick hello as I have promised to  have a snowball fight with Mango in 5 minutes time.  Bye for now.   I must climb down from this tree, very carefully indeed!

Pearl has made Sherbet a new scarf to wear in the snow.

Pearl made me a lovely new scarf so that I could go out in the snow.  It is a little bit big  but I feel very cosy now.  Mango is snuggled right inside there too, behind my left ear.  He is frightened to come out in case he gets frozen so I will not stay long outside.   In 5 minutes  we will go back inside and I will make us both some lovely hot cocoa.  Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet has a snowy adventure

It is still very cold and snowy here at Clover Cottage.  Mango mouse is  staying with me,  as you know.   He is so little that it is much better for him to cuddle up on my comfy chair in the warm than to stay in his watering can in my garden. Today though we decided to go out for some fresh air. I put on my green rubber boots and my warm gloves, tucked Mango right inside my wool under my arm to keep him cosy and went out of my kitchen door.    Brrrrr,  the cold air hit me in the face as I stepped into my garden  and dear little Mango snuggled in closer to my warm woolly body.  I decided then and there that we would not stay out long.  I loved walking through the crunchy snow and leaving big deep footprints behind me.  Mango was peeping cautiously out from under my arm.  He wanted us to collect some bunches of holly from the  holly tree in Wiggleway Lane so that is exactly what we did.  I picked some holly as quickly as I could and then we went back indoors where I made us both some delicious hot cocoa.
We soon warmed up again in front of my lovely log fire and we both had the most beautiful pink, healthy looking cheeks after our adventure in the snow.  Love from a snowy Sherbet Sheepx

It is snowing at Clover Cottage

It is snowing here at Clover Cottage so I am staying inside today.  I dare not even walk into my garden to inspect my poor vegetables as I am afraid I will slip over and fall into the cold, cold snow and maybe then I would never be found again.  I have little Mango mouse sitting here with me.  We are relaxing on comfy chairs in front of a deliciously warm log fire and we are feeling very cosy indeed.   Poor little Mango, when I saw the first snowflakes I ran quickly to fetch him from his watering can to bring him in to Clover Cottage.  It is far too cold for him to stay in his own home at the moment so he will be staying with me until the weather improves.   We are reading a book about polar bears to keep us in a snowy frame of mind while sitting here in the warm !  Love from Sherbet x

Peas, peas, peas

Peas, peas, peas.
 I just think that peas in their pods are so beautiful and what a wonderful delicious smell they have.
 One of the things I really love to do is to sit on my doorstep at Clover Cottage with a big basket of freshly picked peas and shell them.  It does take me ages and ages to do but what a joy to see all of those beautifully fragrant, round peas sitting there, all together in my kitchen bowl.
I must tell you that I am now looking through all of my recipe books for a special pea recipe. I feel like making a delicious pea soup and I will invite Doodle, Pearl and Mango to share it with me this evening. If we are very lucky, Pearl might  bring some of her scrumptious home made bread with her,  the one with the sunflower seeds and sesame seeds in it.
 Oh yummy, I cannot wait for the evening to begin. Love from Sherbetx
