The Welsh Flag outside Gay Gordon and Big Mary's bungalow was not flying yesterday so I briefly thought something unfortunate had happened to one or both of them.
I need not have worried for as I stood on the pavement the bungalow door opened and a booming voice rang out
" Hold on Flower! "
I did what I had been told as Gordon appeared in a string vest.
" Congratulations" , he sang out giving me a carrier bag with a card and present inside
" We heard you had got married!"
The gift was two cut glass whiskey glasses.
" by the look of you, I thought you'd like a drink" Gordon boomed, his piggy eyes blinking benignly behind his specs........
It was very sweet of them.
Anyhow, I have just realised with some sadness that the transgender hen Jesus has disappeared from the Ukrainian Village flock.........he/she has been suffering from a degree of wanderlust over the past few month and could be seen ambling alone over the neighbouring fields as far as Basil's sheep field towards the Felin most days
Perhaps he was on retreat
Last night Jesus didn't return home.
I stood on the lower field border at dusk and called out his name
( a fact that made the livery staff at the stables prick up their ears and laugh)
But there was nothing.........
RIP Jesus.........

Note to self: Don't read comments like this with a mouth full of coffee. I've just done a spit take in the cafe'.
DeleteI hope you find Jesus........
ReplyDeleteNot sure if that's supposed to be serious or funny, but I laughed.
DeleteMee too
DeleteIt was meant to be funny .....
DeleteAnd I do hope that Jesus , the chicken returns as well.
DeletePoor thing. Taken by a hungry creature, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice people in your village. I hope Jesus is hiding somewhere and makes it back. but having chickens myself know it would be a miracle.

He might reappear at Easter xx Lovely to receive a wedding present.
ReplyDeleteJust wait for Easter...
ReplyDeleteJust wait for Easter...
ReplyDeleteIt's Easter soon, perhaps Jesus will return...again!
ReplyDeleteDoubtful I know, but.........
That was kind of Gordon and Mary. Poor Jesus. Maybe he will resurrect?
ReplyDeleteNever a dull moment around your place. I can just imagine you shouting over the fence, Jesus, Jesus where are you Jesus. Very funny.
ReplyDeleteHe will return... if you believe the bible.
ReplyDeleteI dont and he wont
DeleteSomeone else has surely welcomed Jesus into his life Probably Reynard the Fox. I can imagine him licking his lips and crying to the heavens - "Hallelujah! Sweet Jesus!
ReplyDeleteHappy and sad post. I know it would be a miracle for him to return but let's hope he shows up today.Deb
ReplyDeleteDo hope he returns.....
ReplyDeletePersonally? I'd give him 40 days. There's just so much to reflect on.

ReplyDeleteOh, sweet Jesus! :-(
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about poor little Jesus.....fingers crossed.....maybe he'll come back yet.
ReplyDeleteBit early to write him off like that I would have thought. Give him another day or two.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this will help Jesus find his way back, John:

I do hope that Gay Gordons gesture has made up, in some way, for the more negative attitudes you have experienced.
ReplyDeleteNow we're all waiting for the Second Coming.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about Jesus. The whiskey glasses are a nice gift.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I can sort of take it when you leave those that have passed on for the foxes or badgers, but it does upset me when one is killed. I hope Jesus found a nice high tree to roost in for the night and will come back home soon.
ReplyDeleteAnother wedding present. You and Chris are going to need another house...
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I hope you find Jesus. Again.
"By the look of you, I thought you'd like a drink" - LOL Lovely gift, though.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Jesus is looking for someone more like himself and after a little wander he will return home? I hope so.
Thoughtful gift... very nice.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jesus has just lost the way home, or got closed up in someone's garage... I am just grasping at straws here, John.
Oh what a shame about Jesus! Keeping my fingers crossed he comes home soon. Hate it when you lose an animal... makes me very sad. Nice gift from Gay Gordon.... I love getting glasses for pressies... good excuse to try a new drink...not that I'm desperate or anything :)

So sorry Jesus has gone missing. I hope you weren't standing too close to the church yard when you were shouting for him ;-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe he/she knew it was time to fly the coop and be with his/her kind.
