Helloooooo!
I is snuck in to the puter to say hello cos I now have competition and he is smaller and cuter than me so I need to be specially skillful at being top blog!
I is now 3! Well nearly, I is in my third year and I’m a scruffy-not-so-little-kn*b according to Lucy. Is that good?? I think so cos I get lots of cuddles and “Oh Tim, you kn*b!” compliments!
Any way, life has been sooo hard here as you know. We are all starved and beaten and there is no grass as the big horses have eaten it all. We did get the boggy field but have hoovered up what’s left in there so there is very little to eat. Lucy has been strip grazing us on the last field but we only get 3 blades of grass to last a whole hour so it is not good. Eric (our next door neighbour) did do his field with disky things and has re-sown it with NEW grass. It is growing well and looking very appealing. So we did hatch a cunning plan. I did think we should dig a tunnel but Uncle Isaac did say I was a “stupid boy”! He and Uncle Pants did conferring (Mummy and Celtie weren’t allowed to cos escaping is a boy’s job, even though Mummy has more experience of escaping than everyone else on the whole farm put together!) so the plan was set.
Uncle Pants did find a weak spot in the hedge next to a holly tree and did start eating a hole! Tricky business eating holly I do know, you end up with very big lips and squitty bottoms! Celtie and I tried it but weren’t impressed. Anyway, Uncle Pants is fine. He did it under the cover of Lucy being at work and darkness. We did all pick up the tell-tale bits and distribute them around the farm when we was out and about so as not to raise suspicions. I did have to stand guard and tell him if there was anyone coming. I only nodded off once or twice!
On Thursday we were all set! There was a small bear size hole.
I did get sent through first cos I is skinny-est, flowed by Mummy who is smallest. It was a really tiny hole but I pushed and pushed and I was through! Mummy is used to walking through things so she was ok too. Everyone else was too big to get through even though Uncle Pants tried to eat a bigger hole. They say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, well it WASN’T! Well actually it was, greener that is, but there was very little of it at all!
Once through we couldn’t get back
and to make matters worse, Jenny has spotted us from the top of the hill. d**n it! We did get captured and put back in our field and the electric fence was moved to cover the hole. Sigh. Lucy and Steve did then put posts and rails in the next day to stop Uncle Pants trying again, so we was thwarted. Boys did grumble and Mummy did chuckle!
Claire was not amused by my escapades and she did give me a Paddington Bear Hard Stare and say “It’s school for you young man, we’ll give you something to think about!” so I is going back to skool, I’ll let you know how I got on cos I've done bits and everything and was brill!!
Here's a taster so you can see MEEE!
Bye bye
