The Day of the Great Chase!

Feather’s Forest Report – Episode 1

Hello from the edge of the clearing!
It’s me, Feather the Robin, here with the very first edition of Feather’s Forest Report — and oh, what a day it’s been!

This morning started like any other. I was perched on my favourite garden spade, warming my feathers in the sunlight, when a sudden blur of fur zipped past! It was Pip the squirrel, giggling to herself, tail flicking like a banner in the wind. Right behind her came Wilee, Andrew’s cheerful spaniel, tongue out, ears flapping, having the time of his life!

I grabbed my camera (I never leave the perch without it) and followed them as they darted through the trees. Pip was up the trunk in a flash, poking her nose around the side to tease poor Wilee, who barked and wagged his tail below. I could just about hear her say:
“You’ll have to grow wings if you want to catch me!”

But the fun didn’t stop there!
Moments later, the two of them were back in the meadow, chasing a golden ball. Pip batted it with her tiny paws and Wilee gave it a good nudge with his nose. Back and forth it rolled — giggles, barks, pounces, and laughter filled the air. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such joy.

And you know what?
They weren’t trying to win.
They weren’t keeping score.
They were simply playing — the best kind of playing, the kind that makes your heart feel light and your cheeks ache from smiling.

Stay curious. Follow the fun. You never know where a good game of chase might lead.

Until next time,
