STRANGE GOINGS ON part 4

STRANGE GOINGS ON part 4

Happy Outcome

Miss Ashanthi was delighted with Mrs Annie's proposal of opening a respectable boarding establishment for young chickens. Having never married and therefore being childless, she welcomed the idea of putting her natural mothering instincts into practice. Well there were so many things she could teach the young ones, she said, and cooking a decent curry would be first on the list. They could learn to make jams and preserves and how to set a good table, oh! yes indeed she thought it a wonderful idea.
She did admit to not being herself lately. In fact she even went as far as to say that she had felt a little lost, as if she just could not find her feet, as the saying goes.

Mrs Annie and Mr Peter had brought with them an extra special welcome gift. They felt that an extra special welcome was in order just to convey to Miss Ashanthi how everybody at Hollyhock Hill were so very happy to have her here as part of the community. As for the silly gossip that was circulating, Mrs Annie assured Miss Ashanthi that worrying about gossip was not worth the trouble. Some of the occupants of Catnip Downs were notorious for their silly stories and that most residents in Hollyhock Hill didn't take one bit of notice of them.

Mr Peter carefully positioned the handsome new birdbath, so that it would be visible from the kitchen window, thus giving Miss Ashanthi the pleasure of viewing the pretty little bluebirds frolicking in the sunshine while she was busy with her daily chores.
Miss Ashanthi's heart was deeply touched by this act of kindness, and remarked that she did indeed feel most welcomed. Mr and Mrs McKluckity arrived with a basket laden with delicious pastries and salad. Mumma Bunny and Pappa Bunny came with their four daughters and brought with them more delicious food. It was then decided that an impromptu picnic should be had out on the meadow, so Mr Dusty and I scooted around inviting one and all to come along and join in the fun.

It turned out to be a lovely afternoon, everyone enjoyed themselves.
No mention was made of Miss Pearl's silly story, it was felt that it was best to let bygones be bygones. Miss Pearl had apologised and Mr and Mrs Fluffybot had accepted her apology. Mrs Fluffybot was herself again and was even able to have a bit of a chuckle over the incident.
In our small community here at Hollyhock Hill everyone tries to get on with each other and not hold grudges. After all God says to love one another and that is the motto we all try to live by.
All in all a most pleasant afternoon was had by all.

About us

WELCOME TO THE SILLINESS AT HOLLYHOCK HILL

The stories on this blog are based on real events, and on real people and animals. Miss Ashanthi lives in my backyard and is beautiful indeed. Her previous carers are from Sri Lanka but due to illness could no longer look after her. She still roosts in the treetops and I have to get up on a ladder and get her down to put her to bed in the safety of the henhouse every night. My other chickens were sadly killed by Mr Fox and we did have a possum in the hen house.

Mumma Bunny is my best friend and has indeed four beautiful daughters. Mrs Hessie Mouse is another dear friend and has two cats called Miss Molly and Miss Millie. Miss Issa is our granddaughter and does make lovely cupcakes. Madame Cheree is another special friend and has two young children. Mr Dusty is my sweet fluffy friend and Mr Jovie belongs to Mumma Bunny.

I decided to tell the stories in a whimsical way for a bit of fun. The world has become far too dark and a bit of light hearted fun is good for the soul. I am Annie with Spade and my dear husband is Peter with Toolbox.

We hope the tales we tell do at least make someone smile. Have a lovely day.
