Title: 12 days of Christmas
Post by: Backinwellies on December 18, 2018, 02:54:37 pm

prompted by a comment made by a friend …..

Twelve days of Christmas:  Nantygroes Style  2018  ????

Twelve hens a pecking
Eleven ewes a pregnant
Ten lambs a growing
Nine lives of spider
Eight Cows a mooing
Seven Kites a flying
Six Goats escaping
FIVE GOLDEN   EGGS
Four Ducks a dabbling
Three Dexters  jumping (fences!)
Two Dogs a barking
And a Bertie waiting  in an ash tree

This sounds like a fun game!  For me this week, it's:



Twelve cards just written
Eleven bags of wood left
Ten hens not laying
Nine gifts not bought yet
Eight nuisance phonecalls
Seven peafowl peaing
Six hoggs a bleating
Five ducks a quacking
Four ewes returned
Three stray cats
Two dead tups.......

......And a transit van stuck in our ditch :raining:

Bertie is a wild buzzard who daily during the winter, sits in the tree waiting for me to feed him his breakfast.

Yup, he's lulling you into a false sense of security....   And boasting to his mates how well He has got you trained,
( like all animals in our lives )
