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.

I've been wandering, but I'm back just to say goodbye. If anyone has noticed I haven't been very chatty this evening. Don't know why. It is only 6:30 here, but it's dark and I feel like its midnight. See you all tomorrow. Have a good night everybody. Jag, take care & hope y ou feel better tomorrow.
I have some photos of Luss Village on Loch Lomond, thought June would like to see where B&B and Sunshine were talking about. I too have stayed at the C&CC Site at Luss very handy for walking into the village.
Just thought it would be nice for June to see what you were all talking about.

Thanks Mary GK, every house in the village has a beautiful Garden. Luss is somewhere that I can get to for the weekend, even one night only easily, that is if you can get booked in the Caravan site. I think I am right as was "Take the High Road" filmed there.
I am sure June will love the pictures as I do.
Mary GK, you have set me off, has anyone ever visited here. I stayed at Portnardon beach the first time and had glorious weather, I just had to go back after being on Skye and the weather was beautiful again but could not get on any campsite. The year after I went again and the weather was terrible. My dog loves it here.
