The pictures you see show the five of us, this weeks contributors to Colin’s Blog. All of us are extremely proud of being on this blog as we have heard about Colin and his exciting tales and inspirational ideas. We live in Sarah and Jaap's wild garden in Mombassa. We are (clockwise from right), Cowpat, Chicken, Timone (that's me!), Blondie (bottom) and Goat.
Timone
Arrival: Came with Sarah and Jaap from former abode, is Top Dog (that’s because I am the best at writing)
Likes: Snoozing in ridiculous positions with legs in air
Dislikes: New animals arriving in the house
Blondie
Arrival: From rescue centre, found on street with broken tail and attitude
Likes: To listen to something the humans say, consider it briefly, then completely disregard it. Drives them mad!
Dislikes: Being caught out the end of the garden when the tide comes in and having to swim home. Is still uncertain whether the fact that Cowshit thinks he is her milk bearing mother is a like or a dislike….
Chicken
Arrival: Gift from mason on Sarah’s building site, survived traumatic 8hr journey through storms and tempests to arrive at farm.
Likes: laying eggs in different places to make it really difficult for Sarah to find them.
Dislikes: Hazards abound for Chicken, either from the ground by dogs, from the air by sparrow hawks, or from below by mongoose. She dislikes all of these very much.
Cowshit
Arrival: Found on road near house, covered in cowshit, just before Christmas. Managed to woo the softy humans and avoided being taken to rescue centre. Easy!
Likes: Being fearless
Dislikes: Still having cowshit on tail after multiple washes and soaks, not good for the image!
Goat
Arrival: Surprise Christmas present to Sarah from brother Ric. “I got you a goat….”
Likes: Head butting any of the dogs which think they can wind up this lady, no chance!
Dislikes: bits of vegetable cuttings that the humans seem to think I’m going to eat and insist on shoving in my face.
And lastly for a real treat please look at Sarah’s website Green Water http://www.green-water.org It is all about recycling water using reed beds
