WINDY DAY

GOODNESS ME IT HAS BEEN SUCH A WINDY DAY TODAY. THE SORT OF DAY THAT WHIPS YOU UP INTO A FRENZY. THERE IS ALSO A FULL MOON DUE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, SO I DON’T KNOW WHETHER I AM ON THIS EARTH OR FULLERS EARTH QUITE FRANKLY. LITTLE MOUSE ALSO FINDS THE WIND QUITE ANNOYING LIKE ME, TRYING TO PEG OUT HER BED SHEETS ON THE WASHING LINE, WHICH BECOME LIKE SAILS ON A SHIP AND YOU CAN HARDLY HOLD THEM DOWN LONG ENOUGH TO PUT THE PEGS IN CAN BE QUITE EXHAUSTING! AS I SIT HERE IN MY OFFICE LOOKING DOWN THE LANE INFRONT OF THE FARM, THE QUEEN ANNES LACE IS BLOWING ABOUT AND LOOKS LIKE A CROWD PERFORMING A MEXICAN WAVE AT A SPORTING EVENT, OR LIKE THE ‘WHITE HORSES’ AT THE SEASIDE AS THE WAVES ROLL AND TUMBLE ONTO THE SHORE, IT LOOKS QUITE BEAUTIFUL, ALL CREAM AND FLUFFY. THE SWALLOWS HAVE RETURNED AND ARE BOBBING AND WEAVING CATCHING THE NEXT MEAL FOR THEIR LITTLE ONES. SPRING IS A WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR WHEREEVER YOU LIVE, BE IT TOWN OR COUNTRY. THE LANCSCAPE CHANGES EVERY DAY AS NEW LIFE BURSTS FROM ALL THE TREES, HEDGEROWS AND GARDENS. LITTLE MOUSE LIVES NOT FAR FROM THE FARM WHERE FARMER BOB AND FARMER RICHIE HAVE BEEN GATHERING THE GRASS FROM THE FIELDS, ONCE AGAIN, FOR WINTER FODDER (chapter eight, a visit to Oak Tree Farm), THE SMELL OF THE FRESH CUT GRASS IS DELIGHTFUL. TODAY, HOWEVER THE SMELL IS LESS DELIGHTFUL AS THEY SPREAD MANURE, OH DEAR THE JOYS OF THE COUNTRYSIDE.
I WILL LEAVE THAT THOUGHT WITH YOU.
