About two or so weeks ago I travelled to Wales to visit my uncle, his partner Claude and the surrounding area. This will be my third post talking about this area but it is a very fabulous place and I wish to share the wonder and relaxation this secluded house which has always been known as Twistybach.
We arrived after a boiling three hour car journey and found out that a day before our coming there had been three new arrivals...
Three of these little fellahs had hatched only the day before and they were already up and pouncing about. In the kitchen was a fly gun to shoot fly's with that can then be given to the mother hen who will then take all the credit for the fly catching and give it to the chicks.
As we were sitting down reading or mind wandering in the conservatory we heard a tapping at the window, a strange sound... as if someone was lightly throwing stones onto the surface of the window. We looked up and saw three more new arrivals that had arrived after the last time we had come to Wales...
They were a bit mischievous. They seemingly only went to the toilet just outside the porch area and when they were sometimes allowed in the house they used the conservatory floor as a loo also. Imagine if humans were like that.
Hannah (my sister) and I went on a walk up the pathway and came upon these blighters...
Hannah and I were discussing the sound that sheep make. Many people say that sheep go 'baaahhh' but as we passed the sheep on each side of us the sheep were going 'meeeeeeeehhhhh'. I don't know whether it is merely the accent of the sheep around these parts but we came to the decision that 'meh' was the right way to pronounce that bleating thing that they do.
Here is the haunted house that we always go to...
We ate a hearty meal after the walk and settled down for the night. I slept in the galley room with my brother, a name given to it because of it being similar to a galley. We closed our eyes and awaited for the surprises that would come to us the following day.
To be continued...
Over and Out.
