What in the name of things four legged are those?...


The paddocks have been quite busy this week, they belong to an old lady  who noone ever sees but everyone knows about. "Oh yes",they say "she lives down there, no not that way the other way past Mr Marmalade's house towards Swirly Squirrels Wood". I've never seen her though  but  from somewhere every now and again  another animal  seems to appear in the paddock.

Miss Furry came running in ( she never usually runs any where!).  Fur flying like a whirlwind. This is odd I thought, she ran straight past me and jumped into her blanket box quivering.
This is very odd indeed as the Fur' ocious Miss Furry doesn't tend to run from anyone.

I went out to investigate has Mr Marvelous Mouse brought an army of mice or has indeed Mr Marmalade finally put Miss Furry in her place.  Miss Furry had a look of don't go it's a jungle out there in the paddock stay here with me. (To be fair Miss Furry often over dramatized as only she can). She then gave me a look of well if your foolish enough to go I am not protecting you so there.

I walked down to the bottom of the garden past the gnomes and looked over the fence to find two white friendly looking Goats happily munching their way through my Rhubarb patch, they looked up and almost smiled. "Hello" they barred whilst still munching on a massive Rhubarb leaf.



 I was quite surprised as the hole in the fence didn't look big enough for their heads to fit through but they had managed to maneuver their way through a tiny hole. I said to my self " that's dedication for you. If only Miss Furry could be that inventive! ".

At this point I felt a furry twirl on my leg. And a pointy, diamond black and white furry face looked up to me as if to say" I told you didn't I, see what in the name of all things four legged are those, and just look they are munching all 'My' Rhubarb leaves , I mean how rude is that!.
Goats  Miss Furry  and just look at their lovely sweet faces.

This promptly caused Miss Furry to look at me rather perplexed she then fix me with the hard stare, (yes that's right the one what cuts through butter) and then stalked off tail high in the air nose up with a humph sound  "to talk to the gnomes..." , "Goats humph" ..." Well of course I knew that"...

Helen Lewins is an author. Helen was born in Northumberland but due to the closure of the coal mines, her parents moved the family to North London to take up work as publicans. After school, she started an apprenticeship with an electrical engineering medical company where she worked for many years as a Service Engineer. With a calling for something else more creative she went travelling in the UK and worked the summer in a hotel on the Jurassic Coast. This led her to study hospitality management and after graduation, she took on a role as a hotel Manager back in Northumberland. Then her life changed forever and along came her beautiful son. It became obvious early on that he was developing at a different rate from his peers. He had limited speech until he was eight years old. Eventually, after quite a long journey he was diagnosed with Autism. That is when Helen started to write about Miss Furry to entertain her son as it was based on their pet cat. It has been a very personal journey for them both and Helen hopes that Miss Furry brings joy to other children. Helen and her Son live in Northumberland with Miss Furry who does indeed spend her days patrolling the fence.
