October has come and gone and once again it is time to open a new thread for the Gabfest.. During October we did finish the movie WILD MOUNTAIN THYME, complete with musical score, as planned. We launched it into distribution with its own World Premier. The Stars and most of the Supporting Cast were there appropriately dressed for their glitzy walk down the red carpet. Unfortunately co-stars EJ & ODEN and family were unable to attend as they are all currently on migration to Africa. Keith surprised us with some very interesting bird & wildlife reports direct from the Sahara Dessert and from his own equatorial Island in the Sun. His on-the-spot factual reports helped us to understand the dangers our osprey face once they complete their long hazardous journey. Our first music night was a smashing success that left everyone eager for the second.

Then we ended the month with a wonderfully thoughtful and caring discussion of the benefits or possible harm of the tracking of osprey and other birds. NOVEMBER will bring continued reports and DISCUSSIONS of our own “Special Three“, Tore, Bynack and Rothes who have arrived safely in Africa. We will be watching especially for news of Bynack who has been in an area that seems to be potentially dangerous. We will be watching also for updates of young Ozwold who was VERY reluctant to leave Bonnie Scotland, but is finally taking a stopover in Spain where Roy Dennis says he can safely winter. So, will Ozwold stay in Spain? or will he move south?, on his own unique time schedule? We will also be following the adventures and misadventures of other tagged osprey, including Einion who had us holding our breath while he made a huge circle over the Atlantic, his siblings from the Dyfi nest and others that may come to our attention. All this and much more is discussed on the Gabfest. We expect to have The Second Gabfest Music Night toward the end of the month. The theme is yet to be discussed & determined. This is the Freedom Forum, where fun, fact and fantasy combine to make a very unique thread. So come on in and chat a while with us. Our fire is bright and the latch is always open.

All, I am sad but I am ok and Leri is the first tracked Osprey I have followed and maybe lost. It is still not conclusive and yes gutted but I do understand how difficult it is for them.
Sandra that photo of Leri is wonderful and her eyes so piercing. She is looking at us all and really wish I knew for definate and still have some hope. x
Black jag, will be very interested how it turns out lol
My nan used to make the most wonderful toffee in the world and I used to "TRY" and make it as a child and to be honest I cannot remember how I made it but it was chewable and we all liked it as used to put a whole tin of Golden syrup in and boil it. Seriously it was when I was very young and no idea whatsoever lol.
Sandra, do The Welsh have a national drink.. you know along the lines of Scotch Whisky..
I know Werxham had the first Lager brewery in britain.. do you think that counts?
All for one and one for all.
B&B the calorie count in this tablet is probably more than a weeks worth... oooo
I've also added some booze... hope my doctor isn't a gabber.. lol
black jaguar,it won't hurt if you only have one small piece at a time (who am I kidding) just don't eat the whole tray in one go.
Here is the recipie I followed... Just try not to use a non stick pan as you WILL need to scrape it clean.. lol

HI FOLKS just back from SPURN and missed the ISABALINE WHEATEAR .. .on the way home i listened to a lady singing a song and thought how did we miss this one from JUNES musical. i could see SUSAN singing it to KEITH... the song UNCHAINED MELODY . ..i know it was most popular sung by the RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS ,, but as it was being sung i saw SUSAN singing it
Just wafting through and the Welsh luckily do have their own single malt in Penderyn...have a bottle but still unopened.
Poor Leri so hard for all the youngsters.

Yes B&B, that's good that you're ok... Leri is also the first Osprey I've lost.. it is a sad time and just underlines how difficult it is for these young birds..
The tablet is in the tray setting.. my first ever attempt.. I'll tell you how it turns out.
Black Jaguar,,,, a zillion calories in waiting!!
Hi Wendyb, nice to see you.
Thanks for that... I'll need to see if I can find a bottle.
