The Church Minshull Community Website

Continuing the literary theme I went on the Jonathan Swift ferry to Ireland to see my peoples' grandchildren and my cousin Tess — I told you about them in May. It being Ireland I expected my coat's natural properties to be called upon but it was hot, Hot, HOT and Tess and I had to disturb the fly fishermen and collect all the floating sticks in Mill Lough.It's called the Emerald Isle for a good reason and my waterproof fur came in useful somedays....
When I got back the maize in my field had grown so tall that I couldn't see over it, nor could my people. The leaves are still tasty and I've spotted the maize cobs developing in the last week or so. Just a bit too high for "harvesting" at the moment but I hope to report back on them in a month or so. I also want to tell you about my recent visit to Auntie Audrey in Wettenhall, who runs Muttlins holiday camp for dogs.
