    As the tide approached its lowest point, Algy perched on a rock at the end of the north beach, surrounded by masses of slippery seaweed. Like a wee, eager child, Algy was feeling very excited because it was almost his birthday, and in his mind he was planning all the details of his party on...

    Many of the beaches of the Hebrides and west coast of the Scottish Highlands are famous for their beautiful, pale shell sand, and Algy’s beach was no exception. And of course where there is shell sand, there are frequently empty shells which are no longer the homes of living creatures but which...

    As Algy flew around the beach beside his home on the wild west coast of the Scottish Highland, he discovered that after such a long period of inactivity his wings very soon began to ache; they felt little inclined to flap more than necessary, and appreciated many and frequent rests. Of course,...

    After such a long period of idleness and isolation, Algy found that the excitement and effort of getting out and about adventuring again was really quite demanding, and his fluffy wings tired far more quickly than he expected, so he deemed it prudent to take advantage of an invitingly soft bed of...

    The 1st of March turned out to be a perfectly glorious day, of a kind seen only occasionally on the wild west coast of the Scottish Highlands. And when Algy saw the colour of the morning sky, he shook himself up, preened all his feathers, and flew straight over to the sand dunes at the back of the...

    Although the sun did appear at times, there were very many other times when it did not. In fact, a dense Scotch mist had been smothering the wild west Highlands for the past day or so, hanging heavily over the hills like a thick, wet blanket stretched right across the sky, to slowly drip, drip,...

    It seemed that wherever Algy looked, crocuses were springing up to welcome the early spring sunshine. Some of them marched boldly across the open grass, leaping suddenly out of the damp mossy ground in plain sight, but other shyer flowers lurked in the shadows in small groups, hiding their light...

    On the following day the sun came out, and although the wind was still uncomfortably strong and cold, it was possible to avoid its worst effects by staying very close to the ground. Algy’s feathered friends evidently believed that spring had arrived, for there was a great deal of twittering and...

    The sky was covered with masses of dull grey clouds, and the wind, although not quite as cold as it had been, was wild and strong enough to be decidedly unpleasant. However, even on an overcast day the light was a great deal brighter than it had been just a few weeks ago, and the days were getting...

    Algy was very, very pleased and greatly relieved to see and hear from so many of his friends on the day that he returned to Tumblr, but he perceived that in his absence a huge and ferocious elephant had made its way into the Tumblr room as it had into the outer world. Algy recognised that elephant...

    After a long, long time - and such a peculiarly strange long time, in which it sometimes seemed as though eons might have passed unnoticed - it happened that once again, just as in olden times, it was Valentine’s Day - that special day of the year on which Algy always thought of all those friends...
