For several days the Flutterby flock spent a jolly time with their cousin Billy and his friend Miss Kitty in North Carolina, USA. But all too quickly the time came to move on again as they'd been invited to Still at Home which is Ann's blog in Melbourne, Australia where woolly cousins Shee-Baa and Lam-Baa live.
Ann's young son is a budding artist and loves to draw maps. His map of the world (above) was carefully studied by the Flutterby flock before they started their journey.
Carrying their belongings the threesome trudged off and searched for transport.
They stopped for a while to watch a hand making pretty rainbow coloured bubbles.
Suddenly a huge wobbly, mischievous looking bubble came drifting down to greet them ....
and in an instant swallowed them up.
The enormous bubble blew along the ground tossing the sheep around this way and that.
And then it started to rise
The three woolly friends watched in dismay as the ground quickly disappeared beneath them.
Up and up they rose into the wide blue yonder
and ever onwards into the night.
Will the bubble burst and will the captive friends ever reach Australia?
To be continued....
Until next time
Eli.

Dearest Eli,
I have said it before and I say it again, you will never cease to amaze me! What a delightful story and photos! You are so creative and I am pleased the sheep have found a way to Australia! I am sure Ann's sons' map was of great help to them. I look forward to hearing of their safe arrival and where (and how) they will be off to their next location!
Love,
Paula

My 7 year old daughter read your first sheep post and wanted more. It's a sheep saga now. You ARE clever.
