25=10-2009The day before had marked the birth date of Lady Giselle Brigitte, our Lady's youngest daughter, who after marrying the wandering Portuguese, Sir Joaquin, had set up home with him in the Kingdom of The Long White Cloud, New Zealand. It lay far away on the other side of the world. She was sorely missed by Lady Cheryl, who did her best to keep up communications via racing pigeons and using the signals that had been discovered in the stars. Called satellites, they allowed communications via the little boxes with moving pictures.
Lady Giselle's siblings, Lady Angelique and Sir Peter arrived to send greetings to their sister and assure her of their love and support. Obvious it was just how greatly she was missed. Her tender heart and great sense of humour were admired by so many. She would always be affectionately remembered.
At noon, leaving Sir Trevor penning his reports, Lady Cheryl visited the local nursery. She loved to wander around looking for unusual plants for her own gardens. Soaking up the fragrances as she went about, it was not long before she had a bevy followers, all admiring her choices of plants. She could not help but impart some of her knowledge to those who needed or asked for assistance. Her experience stood her in good stead to recognise what needed to be done in order to be successful raising plants, in what could be unforgiving conditions in their county.
She returned with her bounty and offloaded The Grey, who snorted with indignation at being treated as a common cart horse, and not the beautiful riding hack that he was. Sir Trevor came out to see what his love had returned with. Shaking his head, he gently suggested that they would need a larger stretch of land, to accommodate all these new acquisitions. Not to mention far larger pockets to hold the many pennies it took to pay for all this.
