Good news the contract is now signed for the publisher for the first of the series of my books. As soon as I have the web site address you can order a book, the first 200 books I will sign for you.
Here is another short excerpt just for you:
“Well, I suppose when you
put it like that, but, on the whole I am your protector!”
“I think you are a
wonderful protector Jack and I love you!” said Blossom. “I mean, I love that
you are our erm, you know what I mean, I didn’t mean I love you, like that, I
think I will shut up now “
“I think it’s time for
bed” said Petunia, “See you all in the morning.”
The next day the fairies
had two visitors at the hedgerow, Toby the toad and Henry the hedgehog. They
had both visited many times before on their travels. Henry had a bad foot and Daphne
took great delight in being able to give him the antidote, she applied some
lotion and wrapped his foot in a doc leaf. Henry was very grateful.
Daphne said “You know, you
can actually make a lot of remedies from doc leaves, I myself, have made
several different types of medication from these and...
“OK Daphne” Petal said, “We
know how clever you are and we wouldn’t go anywhere else for our cures, but,
you do jabber on a little sometimes. “
Suddenly, Jack appeared,
flying low over the hedgerow.
“Girls!” he said,” The
chickens have come through the garden fence and are coming this way and they
have got another creature with them!”
“Good morning, “said
Nigella, “We have a new member we would like you to meet. Everybody, please
come and say hello to Shinney.”
“Hello” said Lilly. “When
did you arrive?”
“Last night” replied Shinney
“I came from another garden. I was hungry and decided to fly over the wall, I
was walking down the street when the lady from this house picked me up and put
me in with the girls. Nigella here was excited about her new neighbours and
wanted me to meet you right away.”
The chickens then went
back to the garden for the day.
“That was a bit strange!”
commented Petunia, “but, at least they are being friendly.”
The rest of the day was
fairly uneventful, everyone foraged for food and Daphne carried on making her
potions. The fairies didn’t see the chickens for the rest of the week.
On Friday evening, as they
were sat around the pine cone, Petal said,
“It’s strange that we
haven’t seen the chickens all week, should we go over and see them tomorrow?”
“That’s a good idea” said
Jack.
“I’ll come with you” said Blossom.
“Ok, that’s agreed then”
said Lilly,” Good night!”
The next day, as planned,
Jack and Blossom flew over to the chicken’s garden. The chickens were locked
inside their compound. Jack and blossom could hear singing coming from inside
their coop. They took a closer look and sure enough Mariah, Celine and Whitney
were singing in harmony, and doing a little wiggly dance to the rhythm.
”Hey girls!” said Jack “That
was beautiful! But, how come you are locked inside your compound and not
roaming about in the garden?”
Sophie replied, “Shinney
escaped! We don’t know where she went and since then the people at the top of
the garden keep the gate closed. They have also made the fence higher and we
can’t fly over anymore, so we won’t be able to come and see you, but you can
visit us!”
“That’s terrible!” exclaimed
Jack.
More to follow...............
bye for now
