This is Percy, one of our neighbourhood parakeets. He’s far from sick, in fact he’s in rude health, preparing to overwinter in sunny Broadstairs. His shrieking call will replace the herring gulls’ squeals until the New Year. It’s me that’s sick as a parrot, having taken a turn for the worst in New York. I don’t half choose my locations to go down with gastroenteritis. Bloomingdales and a Boeing 747 are not great places to be when feeling off colour, hence my state of collapse on arrival back in the UK. I hope to be on the mend soon and back with festive posts of a more healthy nature.
For those of you resident in the UK, you might like to tune in to Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas on December 9th at 8pm on Channel 4 to see yours truly doing a little turn. More on that shortly….

Get well soon Dan, sounds grim!
Sorry you’re so sick. Percy is a handsome little guy, and surely you could provide a link to a YouTube of your presentation for those of us across the pond. Surely….:-)
I will if I can work out how to do it! I’ve got some snaps I took too so I will post them once the show has gone out. Dan 🙂
Hey Dan, sorry to hear you’re sick – get better soon,
best
Uli
Thank you Uli, much appreciated 🙂
Get well soon Dan. Christmas is your big event of the year, so hope you get back to full strength soon. Helen
Thanks Helen. I think I am on the mend but will restrict myself to a little light card writing and garland making in the short term 🙂 Have you made your wreath yet? Dan
Not yet and I’m not sure what I’m going to find in the garden this year- all the callicarpa berries have completely disappeared! Helen
he’s sooo beautifull
I love that green!
I do hope that you were not as green as the parrot. Dohope you’re feeling better.
I was on occasion, especially on the flight home. Now I am on the mend I have reverted to good old British winter white 😉
