The cafe, anyone want coffy?

Went on an interesting road trip around East Kent this morning and saw some green parrots in a tree next to the river Stour in Sandwich. Ian didn't believe me and Tigerlily thought they were fairies! We then went to St Margarets bay to look in some rockpools. Spiderman is getting very strong and was throwing small boulders into the sea! The hermit crabs thought the sea was a bit cold today and wanted to stay in their shells! I think we will leave rockpooling for the spring!

A book review! - Herb the vegetarian dragon

Spiderman's favourite book at the moment is Herb the vegetarian dragon.

The story goes like this, in the land of Nogard there is a castle, some meat eating dragons and Herb a vegetarian dragon who has an allotment and likes making soup. The King is fed up with his people being eaten and wants to capture the dragons, however the wrong dragon, Herb gets caught. Then Meathook, leader of the meat eating dragons also gets caught. The king then gives the dragons the choice to change their eating habits, realising the death of these dragons would result in a war. At this point the story changes from a story about food to a story about how we shouldn't go to war because it doesn't solve problems, it just results in people (or dragons) dying. It is a great book for children but also for world leaders!

Puss in Boots visits allotment

Pippi is a confused cat who was probably a dog in a previous life. We went to the allotment yesterday and she decides to join us. This is OK on the way there, but not on the way back when a spaniel, a labrador and 2 pointers are walking around the field. On the way back I am carrying a bag of potatoes and a spade and trying to time the walk across the field when there are no dogs nearby. The man with the Spaniel throws a ball towards us using one of the those sticks things that throws the ball twice as far. The cat retreats to the brambles while the man says good thing my dog didn't see that cat. I said that cat is my cat, the man looks at me strangely! Then Spiderman suggests putting the cat in the bag with the potatoes but the cat is not impressed with this idea. The only option is to grab the cat and run across the field leaving the spade, bag of potatoes and spiderman, drop the cat in the back garden and run back!
