When Charli was very little my Mum used to make animal sounds on the telephone and one sound in particular stuck – that of a chicken. When Grandma phoned, Charli would say, ‘Chicken Grandma!’.
Well, Chicken Grandma has been doing an art course and sent the girls a copy of one of her latest paintings and on the day they arrived we had a visitor…
The visitor stayed for a few days before we found the owner – who came one evening with a big blanket and threw it over the hen. She seemed to enjoy our garden (despite our cat chasing it up a tree!). She didn’t leave us an Easter egg, but I’m sure the Easter bunny will!
