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.

before someone puts me right it is Ye olde star inn.
ttfn
KEITH -- now that brings back memories (stonegate).. and are you old enough to remember THE CATS WISKERS... that was near the cattle market on i think fulford road..
PS,,, BRIGHT & BREEZY if you GOOGLE YE OLD STAR INN YORK what you will find will bring tears to your eyes
Sunshine and B & B - have had a look it looks a fantastic Inn.
SUNSHINE - Maybe we can meet up there and have a night out with a couple of Pandas.
Sunshine not sure what you mean but it does make me homesick. Never knew it had ghosts, I know the Ghost walk starts from the Golden Fleece. Looking up The Black Swan at Peasholme Green that is another old pub. The Bluebell Fossgate, legendry, did you ever go in when the Old Lady run it. She was so bad tempered and trying to think of her name. I am sure she was in her 80's before a brewery took it over. Another I used to love is Ye old Sun in at Colton. Too many to name and yes I probably have tried them all but I did live there a lot of years!
"Cats Whiskers" was part of Mecca I think lol and the "Old World" in stonegate are still talked about :)
June have watched the video and yes Christmas is coming and beautiful pictures.
Keith it is brilliant to have you back here but you need to rest and no doubt if you are caught Susan will be annoyed. Please get some rest and I love the Coca Cola truck in the Philippenes, such excitement and wonderful to watch. I have watched others but that one to me is wonderful. I had never heard of the Coca Cola truck before.
