NEW CAFE OPENS

  We would like to bring to your attention the "Cosy Corner Cafe" which opened recently on the corner of Moss Rise and Daisy Lane, Toadstool Town

   The Cafe run by Edwin Elf features a delightful dessert comprised of a single large strawberry freshly picked from the gardens which surrounds the residence.   It is thinly sliced to fill the bowl and topped with honeyed nut cream.    Your reporter found it definitely yummy!
   Also on the menu are wedges of spiced pumpkin pie and cups of frothy acorn coffee.    We urge anyone who has not yet visited the 'Cosy Corner Cafe' to hurry on down with their friends to sample these treats.
CONGRATULATIONS!

                       Well done Melissa!
 
TIGER TOM HAS SET OFF AGAIN
   Once again, Tiger Tom has set out on his travels.    Many of our readers will remember Tiger Tom's heroic search & rescue of his father two years ago.
   Mr Moggins was kidnapped by a gang of criminal gray cats who were terrorizing the kingdom of Felicior.
   Mrs Moggins told your reporter that ever since that time young Tiger Tom has been restless.
    Explaining that he wants to see more of the world, Tiger Tom says: "I want an adventure or two before I really settle down."    So with a few travel items wrapped in the traditional adventures spotted handkerchief, he set off yesterday.

Only his mother, sisters and baby brother actually saw him off: Mr Moggins had wished him good luck earlier that morning and returned to him his lost stripy scarf, that is actually in our Lost & Found section, thank you goes out to Clement Centipede. He said the scarf got tangled in his feet, so it was easy to find.   Mr. Moggins had to urgently deliver a basket of fish to the palace kitchen by special request of the king.
   Everyone was sad to see the brave young cat set out on his search for adventure, but he has promised to send postcards by carrier - robin so our readers will be kept informed of his travels.   Our reporter was informed that the postcards could be identified by his paw print.


                    Good luck, Tiger Tom!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Bunny says, If you drop your bag of carrots, pick them up yourself.    If you ask your rabbit friends to help, you may end up with only half a bag!

 
DUCKLING DAY CARE?
   A big debate is taking place as to whether there is a need for a Day Care Centre in the forest.    Mrs Daphne Duck, who is frequently driven quite dotty by her six lively ducklings, is convinced that there is a definite need, especially for one specialising in ducklings.
    "Bright, energetic little ones like mine need plenty of activities to keep them out of mischief," she told Martha B. Rabbit, who was interviewing parents at the weekly community market.
    Martha spoke to many mothers who agreed that even one day a week Day Care would be a great help to them all.    Mrs Melissa Mouse said that with eight mouselings in her family, she seldom left her hole: she would welcome the chance to drop them all off at a Day Care Centre for an hour or two so that she could put her aching feet up and enjoy a quiet cup of tea.   Martha B. Rabbit is looking into the matter and promises an early report to our readers.
