Cow Island

'And Neville George Spondulicks and Margarita Sybil Snipbeak.' 'Whoever would have thought the pretty birdies would have had such strange names?' Cyril said. 'And they all send their love,' Annie added. 'There's nothing more important,' Cyril replied. 'But they didn't send anything else. 'It matters not,' said Cyril. 'I shall love them back even more.' 'So, did I miss much while I was away in Upsville?' 'I don't think so,' Cyril replied. 'How long were you away for?' Annie thought VERY hard. 'About 3.77483829281727172737483828 seconds.' 'Then apart from me eating 17 cakes, I don't think you missed much at all,' said Cyril. 'Only 17!!!!!!!' Annie mooed. 'Now you mention it, that's not many. Perhaps I'm not well?' 'You may have been overworking,' Annie suggested. 'I did have to turn myself over in my hammock without...

I may need to give the next issue more of an international flavour. Ropes around the World, Hemp across the Hemisphere.' 'Global knots you may not know.' 'Y...

Hellloooooooooooooooooooooo! Annie here and today I will be blogging at you about the trees. Are you sitting comfortabumly? Then I shall begin! I'm sure that we've all noticed that about this time of year all the leaves fall off the trees. The question is WHY? It used to be thought that the leaves had run out of rent money, but this is not the case. It's because the trees are tired! That shouldn't come as any great surprise because.... 1. Trees have to stand up ALL the time...with the possible exception of the sofa oak...but you don't see many of those around these days. 2. All the little birdies live in the trees and every morning AND last thing at night they talk to each other very loudly! (it's mostly about the price of short term loans and worms). So to help the trees I'm carrying out an experiment and YOU can join in the fun! I've selected a tree...let's call him Stan and I've tried to make him as comfy as possible. There's a night cap, ...
