Morning froglettes,

Now, with December just around the corner, the days are getting shorter and winter is finally here – hurray. The snow arrived last Friday and I am glad to say the rain returned too. As you know, froglettes, I am very fond of a few spots of rain and there have been plenty of those over the last few weeks and some storms too. Last week, one storm had some very strong winds and caused a lot of damage on the river with trees coming crashing down and the river flooding over the banks so there was even more water for frogs to play about in.

I went out fishing on the morning of this storm and while I was on the river the gusts of wind got stronger and stronger so by the time I returned to the harbour and tied my coracle to its post, the gusts made it very difficult for me to stand on one spot for long.

Anyway, I eventually succeeded and went home and thought no more about it. So, froglettes, imagine my surprise the next day when I returned to the harbour to find my coracle the other side of the river to where I had left it.

Well, I dived in the water and swam to the other side to see that one side of my coracle had been damaged where it collided with the bank. Teacup (who knows everything there is to know) has a friend who repairs coracles. This morning, he came and fixed the damage so I could row my coracle out into the river and do some fishing before returning home to eat my lunch.
