This is our best girl, the prettiest of the dairy herd. I have her creamy milk in my porridge every morning & her cheese in my sandwiches.

I was there the day she was born. Her mother was Cowslip but her daughter’s an Essex girl so we call her #Peggle.

‘Mooooo!’

‘Our Wilf is a fount of knowledge.’

‘Yeah, right. So, where does Wilf live these days.’

‘Wilmslow.’

‘Figures.’

The Importance of Being a #Grammersow

Cheesy Dog!

Eh?

That’s what a Big Beast just called me.

Aye, Sky Bumps have many names for us. Armadillo Bugs. Coffin Cutters. Bubble Bugs. Monkey Peas. TickTocks. Billy Buttons.

Have they nowt better to do?

Clearly not.

Today we’ll be tasting the chicken dippers at Bar Bublin in Swaffham.

A Brief #Pash

They kissed under a single drippy umbrella as sudden, fierce rain lashed around them.

Minutes later, the sun came out & they posed for a photo with a perfect rainbow.

Hours later they recreated their pash moment in a steamy hotel shower.

Breaking news!

Mrs Eccleston was on her patio in Fotheringhay when a green bird flew down, started pecking at her Eccles cake & broke its beak.

Mrs E, 53 said ‘it was a tad stale’, adding ‘the cake not the bird.’

Our resident birdman informs us it was an #eckle.

#Badger bites are rough,
leave them be, you are not tough!
I tried to chase one.
until I landed in #pirl.
What a way to end a whirl.

Kids like to squashle,
grown ups are less keen on it.
Dogs will dive in deep,
if they can, not just a dip.
very tight at home all sleep.

Weathered but freshly cut stump smell 😂
Funny the things we remember from childhood.

I'm from Finland, we had woods between blocks of flats. Fields and hills among asphalt streets.

I wonder if a horse would prefer to #scunge without its shoes?

We called the little balloon ships "caskets," because for so many pilots they became our final resting places. But there's a world of difference between a hopeless fight and a battle you can win, and a cause is a strong wind at your back that overcomes the fear of death.

Home was marshy #creek and itching reed, where wind sings sharply; sour and bleat of lambing spring; a sky brittle as leaden window.

Crew call her #tweavelet—claim ancient babble defunct on their new city vessel. Then drown in her moonshine like starving eels.

The council of trees was the wisest community known on earth. Some days, they found themselves almost keeled over in howled appeal to the bipedals. Others, they resigned to suthering, in hope a hoarse word or two may fall upon the smaller, more tender ears.
