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.

Sleep good Keith...
As posted before... be careful or you'll end up back in hospital... lol
Good night B.JAG
All for one and one for all.
One last thing your wee saying is absolutely correct - If you forget the past, you are destined to repeat it.
On this day of Rememberance Sunday some people have forgotton the mistakes made in the past and far too often in this modern world there is a threat it may be repeated.
Good Night.
Yes Keith... it's a modern world. I worry that the lessons of the past have been lost.. the way things are going economically makes me worry all the more..
Still Let us lose no sleep...for it is out of our hands... Good night Sir.. Friend..
B.Jag.
Just watched "Spitfire Girls" on BBC4 about the young ladies who used to deliver war planes from the factories to the squadrens during the WW2.
They flew everything from bi-plane Tiger Moths to the massive bombers Wellingtons and Lancasters. Had me laughing and crying at the same time with their stories.
A very old Shropshire Lad.
Yes ChrisS.
The youngsters of today don't know what it's all about...Just as I didn't.. but I am of the age that benifited an was taught.. we grew up appreciating the sacrifice.
Something that is beyond our teenagers I fear!!
Just looked out of the window to see a carpet of feathers,either feral pigeon or wood pigeon,went to have a look and Mrs Sparrowhawk enjoying her lunch so left her to it,no point scaring her off now the deed is done,yuk.
Morning Lowry, Poor pigeon, lucky sparrowhawk. Poor Lowry, having to see nature at work.
Has everyone been working on your song list for music night. I have and so far I have three pages! It keeps getting longer instead of shorter. How will I ever trim it down to three or four songs? Just points out that music has been one of the joys of my life.
Has everybody gone on vacation today? I thought someone would at least come in to say "hi" by now. LOWRY, have you recovered from the shock of seeing one of your pigeons eaten? Must run a small errand. Maybe someone will have checked in when I get back.
Hi June, I have not worked on my song list as of yet and I cannot believe your's is 3 pages long. Even on you own you could keep the whole night gong :)
I am tired tonight but might pop back later. I am going to take my dog out for his last walk in a few minutes.
Hey, June. Keep an eye on your weather tonight. I'm under a tornado watch, and the first funnel clouds have been spotted here in Indiana. Some potential for a supercell. I don't think it will be too bad, but take care.
