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.

LOL Sunshine, all good stuff and good banter..
Yorkshire is not really England as it is "up North".. how confusing is that..
What a good job, Sir's Baker & Fowler did, the Forth Bridge is a true Icon..
All for one and one for all.
Forth Bridge, Sunshine.
Did you know that they have just finished painting it...
They've used a new type of paint and it is meant to last 25 years...
Up till now there have been painters on the bridge all the time.
Many happy returns Ms Clark..

BJ when are they going to start building the new road bridge .. i wonder who designed it -- i tried to make the ROCK designed by an englishman but failed --. but i have to admit when i go down the COE i always say GODS OWN COUNTRY
LOL Sunshine...
Dumbarton Castle (The Rock) dates way before Scotland and England..
The vikings were clever guys, unable to pass the Rock on the Clyde... they sailed their longships up Loch Long, carried them overland and put them in Loch Lomond.. they then sailed down the loch and attacked the castel from behind...!
The new bridge on the Forth, discounting the two at Kinkardine will be the third forth bridge..by all accounts, up grading of the infamous A82 has been put on hold to pay for it... Grrr
BJ its hard to believe that the forth road bridge was opened on the 4th of september in 1964
Really.. It's less than 50 years old... that's mind boggling.
As far as I can see the work on the new bridge is due to start now.. Autumn of 2011..
Somethig to be said for the real and one and only FORTH BRIDGE... Designed by
Baker & Fowler...
It has been busy on here today and I thought I could talk, I nomimate Black Jag top of the class today, followed closely with Sunshine on his heels lol
I am laughing so much at some ot the posts.
Great news on the LG three and over the moon Bynack is returning to the same place everday and looks like he has found his favourite tree. I could not wait until I got home had to have a sneaky look at work :)
LOL B&B... I like the idea of top of the chat class..
Yes good news of Bynack. and great if he has found a good safe roost.. go go schreeching boy.. :-)
Hope everyone is finding their favourite songs, I am struggling because have so many I like. I can give you my worst one, I hate it so much. "Two little Boys" Rolf Harris.
Black jag I think you are the all time talker on here, when you are about lol I do enjoy reading a lot :)
I still have a few stories to tell but I will leave until the cold weather kicks in and the tagged Ospreys seem to be settled for the winter. Maybe then my Panda outfit will be worn once again to keep me warm down Stonegate.
Not seen anything on Oswald for a while?
