Good morning beautiful Topsy. It absolutely poured down yesterday morning little girl, and I was wondering where George could be, as I had not seen or heard rain like that for a very long time. It had stopped by the time that I went down to the kitchen just before midday, the sun had come out, and I got a cuddle from poor Percy before I had to put him out… I went out there and called for George, but she did not come running. Of course, something was waiting for me to get out the way, and I got back up here as quickly as I could. When I went back down there late yesterday afternoon, I went out there into the gardens, called for George, and came back inside. When I looked out there, George was waiting to come in, and when I opened the garden doors, she flew in, and rubbed herself around my legs. I gave her a good feed, and when she finished, I let her out with ham. I got myself some soup ready, then I had to get back up here out of the way once more. When I went back down there last evening, my other sister was waiting for me to get out the way so that she could shove two great lumps of pork in the oven for today’s huge roasted dinners. Why she could not have done it before I came down there, or after I got back up here I do not know, but I was so angry, I was going to leave my soup until today. I did not though, I was hungry, so I got back up here with it as quickly as I could, and choked on it. I think that I had a good night, and woke up on time this morning, though I could have done with a bit more sleep. As I was late, I could hear George crying out there, but when I went down there and opened the garden doors, she would not come in until I had her food ready. I gave Percy and George a good feed, and let George out with a big lump of ham. Poor Percy stayed in for a while, but I had to put him out when I went back down there to make some coffee, and of course, something was waiting for me to get out of the way. I got back up here as quickly as I could, and I shall probably have to do the same thing again at midday. I do love you Topsy, I love you so much little girl, and I do miss you, I miss you so much you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
