The challenge was to create a spring related text in a maximum of 150 words with a GIF as the only illustration. Here is my entry based on Lockdown last year in the UK.

Guinea Pig Lockdown Locks
On the first day of lockdown, baby Pig Wig had tufty pig hair. The days passed and the children spent time at home. They cuddled their guinea pigs every day. As the sun shone, Pig Wig’s hair began to grow. The baby tufts started to sprout. Pig Wig’s eyes were soon peering out from under the bouffant. The hair on her back grew long and wild.
Poppet, the other guinea pig, tried to help Pig Wig by using her teeth to groom the locks. However, Pig Wig could not tolerate the tickling! Over time, Pig Wig learnt to rest in the children’s arms, and they tamed her hair with a special comb. As the lockdown started to lift, the grown up of the house showed the children how to gently trim Pig Wig’s mane. It was only then that the family started to gain control of Pig Wig’s lockdown locks.
