While Mum Crofter carries on with her work.

Yes, Gemma is here. Still a bit shy and all that but I'm sure she will get the hang of posing for the camera.

Mr Crofter usually just ignores me.

Dad Crofter just smiles and carries on with whatever he is doing

You have seen this before? No, I don't think so, it just seems like it. There are after all, only so many snaps you can take of The Crofter with the current occupants. I'm awaiting with baited breath and a roll of film for young Gemma to turn up.!

Dad Crofter was 'doing' the ducks when I arrived the other day hot-foot from home to enjoy the sunshine. I'm not sure why he felt the need to crash bang wallop about with those tin things, but the ducks or Turk didn't flinch

Neither did they flinch when HHHCB turned up moments after me to inspect affairs. Mum Crofter was there to manage affairs but Widdle wasn't too keen on cat-ish things at all.

Yes, yes all is well. In fact I think The Croft is running smoother than ever with The Crofter away with his lady friend in, in,, wherever they are. The goings on at the The Croft are being kept in oorder by Mater and Pater Crofter. Widdle is doing what she does and the ducks are being rather duck-like.

Somehow the leci packed up in part of the hoose and the sheeps kits in the freezer were unfreezing and no doubt threatening to come back to life. Dread the thought- he does have 6 million or so sheeps strutting their stuff out on The Croft already!

So The Crofter got the leci-man in. Imself of the committees and the like. Has this man no weak points in his talent pool?

Of course it works again! How very dare you!

Captn Donald went by The Croft the other day bearing buckets of fishy things and sporting a very natty sailors hat.

I'm sure that fish was looking at me. 'Orrible!
