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.

Good night Lowry... I won't be far behind you tonight..
All for one and one for all.
Good night Lowry and I should be off in an hr and past your bedtime Black jag so hoppit. I get told off so it is my turn to tell you off lol
June myself and Lowry have been reading back on the "High Moutain Thyme" film and wonderful and so much fun and a classic. thank you
It is amazing June. And we all just seem to take it for granted.. we even get annoyed when the connection is a wee bit slow...
There are mobile phones now with more computing power than they had when they sent men to the moon... that is mind boggling!
Here is Gower, S Wales, near to where I live. You could not ask for anything better. It is absolutely beautiful there!

If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Good night all. I said I was going to sit back & watch & I havn't stopped talking since I got on here. Must be making up for last night when I didn't have a word to say. You all have a good night. I'll still be around a while in case anyone boomerangs. Incidenally I have a cute story about a boomerang which I may tell sometime, but not now.
Yes B&B it is nearly past my bedtime.. I'm up early in the morning. So I will say good night.

Never has this been more relevant (thank you Sandra)
Nos Da, Gary Speed.
Sandra thank you and wonderful photo's and beautiful and no wonder you are proud of where you live and so looking forward to visiting next year :)
See Swansea on this map? If you look to the right of it you will see Neath, that is where I live :-)
June I do understand and there are sometimes when you cannot talk and to be honest, I have good and bad days and am aware that I spend too much time on here. I thought when the Ospreys left it would be quiet but so many interesting people here.
Work tomorrow and yes I probably will be more quiet and have enjoyed photo's from all of you and thank you. Mary GK spring will be on us soon :)
Time to go.
Nos Da :-)
