What an eventful 12 months! – George’s Guinea Pig World

Hey Locksley right here once more.

You might marvel why I out of the blue wish to do a evaluation of the 12 months (which is what Mummy referred to as it).

Effectively, at the present time final 12 months we have been on vacation on the Dorset cottage. And it was the Monday when Biggles determined to go over the Rainbow Bridge.

Mummy mentioned it was the tip of an period, the final of the boys she’d had in Norfolk. All of us got here straight right here, in fact. However when Biggles went, Ludo and I have been left alone within the cottage (though it did imply that Ludo got the blue cage for the remainder of the week, which he preferred loads).

Then after we bought again dwelling, Mummy went on an expedition in a single day, and got here again with Victor and Pippin. Generally I’m wondering about Mummy’s selections. I imply, we don’t truly get alongside collectively like a home on fireplace, which is a really unusual saying, isn’t it? It didn’t take lengthy for them to fall out with each other. Was it even faster than me and Ludo? A minimum of I had Neville to make buddies with, however that was the 12 months earlier than.

So Victor and Pippin moved in, and Mummy began doing unusual issues. First off we had a party for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, after which Mummy had her 0 birthday on the finish of June, and we had plenty of guests, together with Uncle James and Auntie Rebecca (who aren’t associated, I imply Uncle James is Mummy’s brother, however Rebecca is Mummy’s buddy).

And all this time we’d been affected by the noises made by the builders subsequent door, and the mess they made in our backyard so we couldn’t exit till Mummy had put the vacuum cleaner over the grass. So by July I used to be beginning to lose my hair, and by August Mummy determined she needed to take us away for per week once more. So in September we went to the Hampshire cottage that the Norfolk 4 had stayed in earlier than Mummy moved in right here. You may learn all about that within the Tales from Hampshire part.

After that it quietened down, apart from Mummy going as much as London to see the Queen the place she was Mendacity In State. She had gone over the rainbow bridge, and there have been plenty of rainbows round, so it’s true.

After which winter got here and appeared to go on eternally, and Pippin had his first birthday. And Mummy’s fingers damage, and her pores and skin itched, however finally that stopped, and he or she’s doing a bit higher along with her fingers now. She tries to do an excessive amount of although. She’ll must relaxation them at present as a result of yesterday she moved the runs within the backyard and sowed plenty of veggetabel seeds to develop for us, and the day earlier than she was out all day portray footage. And final week we spent watching the King’s Coronation, so now we’re the Coronation 4.

I nonetheless miss Biggles. Although I’ve labored out why he used to lie by the large window within the solar within the morning. It’s pretty! It is best to attempt it too (particularly Artemis).

Sunbathing – there’s a factor.

Hope subsequent 12 months just isn’t so eventful.

Love
