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.

HI FOLKS - i am glad i don't know how to post photos. the mind boggles that is if i could find one to post ,. B&B i have stayed on the same site that you stayed on at LUSS. i used to be a member of the C&CC --.BJ you say you have never seen rain on skye.. we yorkies would say !!! we-ers tha bin all these years lad!!.. -- never seen rain on skye . i ask you.. i think you should bin the lemsip and get out a bottle of malt ... it may not make you better but it will be great trying
don't think this would be his sort of thing somehow black jag.
Here is my Welsh Tartan & the Wales/Welsh National Tartan.
Colours of Wales.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Aye Sunshine... That's a fine Idea... I've to be taking some family pics in Livingston tomorrow lunch time..or I might be tempted. A bottle of malt would be great and probably do more good than lemsip..lol
Shame Lowry...
Hi Sandra..nice stuff.
Rain on Skye, I stayed at Durness and the weather was tropical and witnessed the best sunset ever, the sea was completely orange and a new moon looked like it was floating on it. I should take photographs as have memories but wish so much had something to remind me of that wonderful sunset and other special moments. Black jag you must be able to find something like I am talking about.
We stayed somewhere on the way back. So many places. Oh Skye I spent 3 days there and I felt for foreign students at a campsite and basic with a pub opposite they were soaking and were trying to dry boots and clothes in the toilets. Now that is not for me lol. "Sunshine" I cannot remember the name but I know you will :) Was so pleased to get back to the mainland and the sunshine and weather was briiliant and could not get any campsite at Arasaig and so disappointed. I went there the year after and the weather was awful but honestly my dog rememberd and was screaming when we turned into Portnadoran campsite which is basic but beautiful views.
Gosh I talk and I must go now all lol.
