Gifted Goats

I know one.

And that's why I've been away for such a long time, from here, this place.

There aren't that many gifted goats, and even fewer who get to go to acting school. It's not that all goats aren't gifted. You just sometimes find the rare one who is exceptionally talented.

And I am very lucky to know Gordon the gifted Goat.

Do you want to know a little bit more about him?

Well, the story begins right here in the Highlands with Angus and Jessie who are goatkeepers. They are really real. Honestly they are. 

Angus and Jessie have a beautiful cottage with a very pretty red rose tree growing over it.In front of their house is a hill. On that hill, is where all the goats live. That is where Angus first heard  Gordon's voice.......

The Legend of Papa Umpa

In the jungle of India, some years ago, a great legend was born. It began in the night, under the cover of the sacred bhanaji tree. It was raining so hard, but the tree sheltered the Great Mother. She lay, silently, on the soft ground, waiting. She knew that something very special was about to happen.

Great leathery elephant, cracked and wrinkled
I can see in your eye, a loving twinkle
Your son is everything he should be
Under the watery moon neath the bhanaji tree

Where will he go, when he's old enough to wander
What tune will he march with his steps of thunder
Such an elephant is bound to see the world
To visit secret places of which we have not heard....

Papa began travelling the world when he was just eight years old......

Not Forgetting....

We do, of course, have to talk about elephants, goats, music and time travel...
