Humphrey update

Rewind of the firework thread last week because

on the night itself, could I get Humphrey to come in?  Not a chance.  Calling and calling from about 4.30pm as it started to go dark.

Every half an hour or so I was out there looking and yelling for him while the rockets boomed and the colourful ones fizzed.  Till finally he turned up as we were about to go to bed, long after the last firework exploded.

Where had he been?  By my guess hiding somewhere.

I think the reason he disappeared was because we’ve had workmen in for a few days, repairing gates and checking doors and other such excitements.  We had to keep open the kitchen door to let them in and out.  On Wednesday one guy was actually working on the back door and its surrounds.

So of course our brave Humphrey wouldn’t come past him.

What a wuss he is.  And to top it off I think he now has got a cold from staying out in the rain.  Last night he was sitting next to me sneezing and spluttering.  And no hankie.  So rude.

Speak to you next week.

Oh on an entirely different note, aren’t the colours in the gardens fabulous at the moment.  I tried one or two photo shots but what I see I can never translate into a half way decent result.
