We had a lovely holiday – and now it’s Christmas!

Hello everybody! Bertie here!

We got back from our holiday the other day, after a long drive in our boxes, but not as long as it had on the way to get to our holiday. Mummy didn’t go round in circles, for one thing. Well, not as many, anyway.

I sort of enjoyed the holiday because I had a nice peaceful time and I could look out of the window. It rained every other day. Mummy went out every day, but sometimes she came in when it was still light. Sometimes she went out to have a walk, and then she came back and went out in the evening. So, yes, Auntie Dawn, I think she saw some feathery things but she was all excited about something on the grass near the sheep on the first day that she said were red wings.

We didn’t go out on the grass because it was too wet, but we did have a nice run on the floor of the cottage. The floor was very nice because it had underfloor heating, but it was nice, not too hot.

We also had visitors. Auntie Cathy and Uncle Phill came one day and then they went out, but they still had time to cuddle us. The next day Auntie Teresa and Sam and Dani came. If Mummy is Cathy and Teresa’s auntie, does that make us their cousins? Dani is the person who does Mummy’s cover illustrations. I liked her a lot.

I think you saw our setup from Roscoe’s message last week, so I won’t put a lot more photos up of that.

We’re getting ready for Christmas now. Mummy says that’s tomorrow. We had our photos taken under the Christmas tree, which has some presents under it. There weren’t any for us, though. Mummy says ours will arrive tonight, along, possibly, with some more for her from Santa. I hope she doesn’t get any more guinea pigs, though. We haven’t enough room for them if we go on holiday.

I hope you have a lovely Christmas with lots of presents. I’m hoping for something edible. I think we all are. Mummy says she’s putting us all on a diet, though. Including herself. Well, if you must go out for meals with your friends and family every night for a week, Mummy….

Merry Christmas, everybody! (waves)

love

Bertie xxxx
