I just could not get here sooner . I have been away from Clover Cottage, spending time in the woods in a leaf covered, home made hut that Doodle made for me . I have developed a keen interest in bird watching. It is so good for my soul. I sat quietly for hours on end in the doorway of my little hut and waited and waited and waited and waited. I had my binoculars with me so I was able to see the birds very clearly indeed. I must tell you an extremely amazing thing that happened though. I was sitting quietly watching a delightful woodpecker pecking the trunk of a huge chestnut tree when 2 green parrots flew right in front of me and landed and settled on a low branch in the same tree. The woodpecker flew away in fright as he had never seen parrots before in his life ! I wondered why tropical parrots should be in my local woods , they must have been lost , maybe escaped from a zoo or a bird park. They were so tame and not afraid of me at all, even though I am sure they had never seen anything like a Sherbet Sheep before.
But Oh dear , I was very worried as I did not know if they would find any food they would like to eat in my woods. I worried so much that I could not sleep, The next morning I left some of my apple pie out for them, that Pearl had so kindly made for me and I am delighted to tell you that the Parrots ate it all. They clearly loved the fruit in the pie and I asked Pearl to bring me a basket of fruit the next day so that the parrots would have a supply of food.
Two days later I came back to Clover Cottage and that is where I am now. I did all I could for the parrots and I am sending them huge blessings to keep them safe . I do hope the weather stays warm for them.
Love from Sherbet x
