………..we mentioned that we had caught three (not blind) mice (blog of 16th March). This week we discovered where they were building a home. Irene wanted to dig some potatoes from the garden, and not wanting to get bitten by a snake got out here Wellington boots. She found that a nest had been made in one from scraps of material and wool. Who knows, if we hadn’t moved the mice from our house, we could have had a family!!!!
……….Ravens came to live in the Tower of London, and the story is that if they should ever leave then England would fall. Well, we have seen Ravens here. There are a lot of black and white crows, but occasionally amongst them is a black and white Raven. We hope that there is not too much trouble back home?
……….. we also mentioned that Potter’s Village Home for Vulnerable Children had some goats because goats milk is a healthy alternative to formula milk for babies (blog of 24th February). This week a male goat was brought as a ‘visitor’ – and a handsome brute he is to. Who knows, in a few months there may be the pitter patter of tiny hooves.
…………Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on a spinning wheel and fell asleep. Only, in this case the Health Authority have agreed that the Medical Centre at Potter’s Village can act as an immunisation centre for local villages. The first baby was brought this week who had his bottom pricked with a syringe by Nurse Jovia. His name is Daniel, and he didn’t fall asleep but has a healthy pair of lungs with which to cry!! We are sure his mother cheered him up with a kiss (and some 'mums' milk)!!!
