I'm not scared of horses. how dare you. By Bessie

The other day we had a really bad storm.  It rained literally all day long.   Mummy's work had about six power cuts.  She says every time the power went off her computer went off but nobody else's did cos theirs are all brand new with battery back up but hers is old and crap but her boss won't buy her a new one.    Then that evening we was just sitting down to watch telly when the power went off.  Daddy went outside to check and the whole village was in darkness.  I tell you what, it's very dark in the countryside at night.  Where we lived before was quite rural but it's proper country here, even though we're closer to the city centre.   So Mummy phoned the electricity board and they said one of the power lines had come down and they hoped they would fix it soon.   As it turns out it was only out for an hour and a half.  Mind you the way the minihumans and Daddy carried on you'd think it had been days, weeks even.  Daddy lay on the lounge carpet and slept, very noisily.   That was a really dumb place to lie down too cos it was pitch dark and everyone kept falling over him.   The little minihumans sulked cos they couldn't do anything.   Mummy said she didn't mind, she lit all her candles and played angry birds on her phone and cuddled with me.

The next day the man next door came round to tell us the fence had blown down but when we went to check it was only leaning a little bit, the gap wasn't big enough to climb through.  We all tried.   He said he would try and get over to fix it when it stopped raining.   But it didn't stop raining til Saturday.  So on Saturday morning, that's today, he came round and he said it had blown over a bit more last night so we went to check and this time the gap was big enough to get through.  Lotty was very excited, she tried to climb through the gap, but Graham next door stuck his head in the hole and give her a kiss, then he put a big block of wood and a load of stones in the way so we couldn't escape.   He said he didn't mind if we came into his garden cos he thinks we are cute but he was worried we might get out into the street.  I said I don't mind if we get into the street, we can go and play with the horses.  Then a horse walked past so we all shouted HIYA.  But Mummy told Graham we were scared of horses and told us to be quiet.  We're not scared of horses.  We're not.  We could have a horse in a fight any time.

Then we went for a walk round the village but we didn't meet anyone to talk to.  It was very quiet out today.  So we come home and ran round the lounge for a bit then went upstairs and put our muddy feet on the white duvet.  That didn't go down too well to be honest.
