Cow Island

'I'm just not sure you can knit logs,' said Norma. 'That just shows your lack of commitment and imagination,' mooed Annie. 'If my memory serves me correctly you said the same thing about crocheted trains.' 'I concede you surprised me on that occasion,' replied Norma. 'Anyhoweverables,' continued Annie, 'if I don't succeed I shall turn it into something else...a hat or a chimney or some such.' 'Another log?' asked Norman. 'Many thanks!' replied Norma. And at that moment Captain Geraldine appeared, waved her wings around, looked at the boiler, counted the remaining logs, jumped up and down and then scampered back toward the bow. 'I get the feeling we're still not travelling fast enough for her,' said Norma. 'We're keeping pace with them,' called back Bertha, who was steering, 'but we need to catch up!' 'Another log?' asked Norman. 'Good idea!' re...

'Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!' mooed Annie. 'Indeed!' said Norma. 'One 'ad it built for his Kingshipfulness,' explained Queen Phoebe. 'One was going to call it 'King Otto, don't you just love him, well you'd better or it's dungeon time for you mate!' but it wouldn't all fit down one side.' 'It's a fine looking ship,' said Bertha. 'It cost squillions!' replied Queen Phoebe. 'Which is partly why we had to scrap all the others.' 'How fast does it go?' asked Norma. 'One don't know,' replied Queen Phoebe.

Hellloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!* Annie here! Well I'm pretty sure that you were all bursting with excitmentables as much as I was, to find out what the Shrimps had been knitting while I was away. Well this is it!!!! Apart from a rather neat hat, they've managed, what I'm calling, a knitted, steam powered, hover thingy!!!! Not bad eh!?! And when you consider that I only left them with a pattern for a cardigan!....actually, while I think about it, I may see if I can get them to add some sleeves.

Right, just once more around the Island and it's Helter Skelter time! Annie.....and Geraldine *Do you have a glut of summer 'o's? Remember, with care, 'o's can be frozen and then used up during the winter.
