We tried hard to focus but with the very sad departure of Robbie the Rooster only days before Chick1 found it hard, she'd raised him from a egg to a fine spur of a Rooster and while others may come to roost noone will replace him...R.I.P. ROBBIE
We were totally in awe of Superman, Rupert the Bear and many other fictional characters. But Chick1 could not contain her excitement when she clapped eyes on the King himself number 5486 and quickly asked Chick2 to take photographic evidence that he was indeed still alive aha and after his hospital stay even Phillip was there to cheer us on, God Save The Queen!!!
We took to our marks along with the other 6998 and questioned "Why are we actually here" but it was too late, the Rev had said his prayer, wished us speedy legs and the starting horn was pressed, we raced around the corner, up the hill towards the hatching's and their fathers, we thought Mr Peck and Mr Cluck were waving us on but apparently they were telling us to hurry before the bacon sarnie stall sold out. 6 miles later we were still clucking strong, no one looked more surprised than Mr Peck and Mr Cluck as they threw wet sponges at us, purely for hydration purposes of course!! Shortly afterwards we were overtaken by a 2 seater sofa but we dug deep and sailed up cardiac hill after Chick1 took the toilet bush detour (as usual). With only 1 mile to go we finally made it onto the home straight with great support from the public we extended our wings and glided over the finishing line in an impressive time of 1hr 40mins..... It would have been nice for the Hatchlings to see their mothers home to roost but we're sorry to say we were too fast for them and they slowly made it nearly 20 minutes later. Our time wasn't bad considering 10k was actually 13.9K..but hey whats a few k between birds of our great stock!!!
We love our bling...........
We have yet to decide what our next adventure will be.....anyone got any ideas?????
