Rather than going off topic on other threads, thought it may be better to create a general "miscellaneous" thread where you can add your stories or pics that are either memorable to you or pics you want to share with forum members; they don't have to relate specifically to wildlife (as on Odds & Sods thread) as Tea Rooms is for general chat/pics as long as you follow community acceptable guidelines !
To start it off I'll transfer over a few pics I put up for Wendy..............
@ Wendy, I wasn't into photography back in my Aussie days and can't find the happy snappy pics except for these.....
For Mick...…...a pic of Glen McGrath
Pre-match preparations ! and junk food lol

Unknown said:Hazel, Don't you find Cheshire a bit bland and boring after that Baboon incident?!
LOL Ann, I guess Cheshire is a bit tame after all the adventures we've had as ex-pats !
@ Gaynor, the male baboon was not going to back down; it was most likely he was protecting his young who were nearby and therefore was naturally quite aggressive; I prefer to stick to battling with Magpies these days lol There are so many true stories I forget most of them these days as life was certainly full on back then. When I think back to those days I can't believe we really did all those adventures although some were not for the faint hearted ha ha !
gaynorsl said:Great story Hazy, thought the ending was going to be different and the baboon would have run off with the putter. Sort of a magpie fetish with teeth!!
Yes, I expected a bit more animal antics, knowing what little (I still have a lot to learn) I do about baboons, but I've seen some of the antics they get up to.....
