Hilltop Hall....about seven o'clock in the evening...
-Brrr..shivered the Dutchess whilst climbing up the stairs to the attic...how cold it is today...I;m going to get another blanket for my bed...
-Strange..there is a light burning at the attic...could there be someone up there....?
Very softly the Dutchess lifted the hatch at the top of the stairs and took a curious peek... and what did she see...
In the middle of the attic..on the floor..sat our dear Miss Moussie...surrounded by..blankets ..candles..winter woollies..a sled..Christmas lights..matches..pillows and quilts..
The dutchess heard her squeak...
-Survival kit...check..
-Spy kit..check...
-First aid kit..check....Then the little moussie lifted her head ...-O,...she twittered with a blush..its you my dearest...don't mind me I'm just checking my list...
-Dear dear Miss Moussie..please do come down and join me for a cup of tea..asked the Dutchess with a smile.....you must be ever so tired...I'm sure this can wait till tomorrow....the weather forecast was fine for this week..
-Then...didn;t you feel the cold North wind blow today..twittered Miss Moussie...I did...and I just know there's no time to lose...I'm telling you something is about to happen...
-Shall we then continue tomorrow..I;ll help...and we will ask Gustave too...
-Yes..we MUST ask Gustave because I need him for the food storage...we...we...and there Miss Moussie stopped squeaking..
-What dearest....we ..what...whispered the Dutchess..
-O.M.Goodness..twittered Miss Moussie...this can not be happening..its to soon...I'm not ready yet...and in a flash she ran down the stairs and disappeared...
The Dutchess followed as fast as she could....and a few moment later....a moussie and a Dutchess entered wonderland...Lets follow them...
..................Welcome........

A List...
Well...said the Dutchess...well..dear C...must we believe everything we read in the newspaper...I always say...seeing is believing...!
Aah..but there is much more between heaven and earth then what the eye or the mind can behold...answered C...but I do agree that one mustn't believe all what is written...especially weather reports..
Then..Mr Mole and our Dutchess remained silent...both contemplating over what was just shared..
The only sound heard in the kitchen was the ticking of the cockoo clock..and the soft crackle of the fire in the hearth..
Outside..in the garden..a little mouse was running...in her hands a big flapping sheet of paper....
Must dash..she twittered out of breath..must hurry...must let everybody know about my Very Important and Practical too do list....!

Confused...
Hilltop Hall....on a warm day in...November...
-I'm soooo confused..twittered Miss Moussie with a sigh....I'm ever so confused....
-What's the matter dear...asked the Dutches in response....Is there something I can help you with...?
-Don't think so...twittered Miss Moussie...only if you could....change the weather....
-Change the weather dearest...but WHY..look outside...its the most glorious November we had in ages..
-Yes yes..I know..and I find this to be very suspicious..its not how its supposed to be...
-O...you want it to be cold..and rainy...windy and wet....
-Yes..so we can snuggle up in the house...It may sound strange but I've had enough of summer..I'm kind of tired..and there Miss Moussie sat herself down on a baguette..next to the french cheese and a pot of berry marmalade. ..fumbling with the spoon where she just stirred her tea with...
-Your tea is getting cold dear...I made it extra sweet for you...four lumps of sugar...as you like it..
-I'm not in the mood for tea..twittered Miss Moussie..
-Come on ....said the Dutchess a bit worried...this is not like you at all....cheer up dear..
At that moment in time a little person wearing big spectacles entered the kitchen...It was Mr Mole..
-Hello there Mr C...smiled the Dutches..so good to see you...would you join us for a cup of tea....
-That would be lovely...answered Mr Mole...but first..let me tell you something..there's news...and he waved with a newspaper..I just read it....
-O,then do tell us..said the Dutches...and I'm sure Miss Moussie would like to hear it too...
Miss Moussie didn;t move... she didn;t even look up...and she didn;t even say hello to Mr C...
Goodness...she really is very sad today..
-LLLListen,stuttered Mr Mole..like he always does when he is exited...LLListen...We are going to have the WINTER of ALL WWWinters....there is a winter traveling to our Hilltop like we have NEVER experienced before...With mountains of snow and Its going to be sooo cold...so cold like on the north pole...What do you think about THAT...
-REALLY..twittered Miss Moussie whilst jumping up and down...REALLY...how marvelous...O my...so many things to do in so little time....we have to be prepared...now even all the little birdies will need mittens.....O dear..
Miss Moussie dropped her spoon and before you could say cheerio...she was gone....disappearing under the doormat....through the crack in the wall....off to her birds nest...Leaving Mt C and our Dutchess sitting there in wonder what to expect next...
