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'ts nearly December June.. This has been a great November Gab... some new gabbees, and all the usual suspects, some amazing images and information. lots of laughs and lots of fun, a great bit of banter and a wee bit of rivalry, some education and some sadness. Not to mention the music... thank you for the music..lol
I look forward to what the December Gabfest brings... much more of the same I hope.
Thank you all my friends. Keep it coming.
Black Jag.
All for one and one for all.
Sounds like happy new kitchen June. I can tell that post was written with a big smile on your face. :-)
An exhausted but well-deserved smile, Black Jag, and trying to catch up with a backward camel (good to see Lemac again), bottles of whiskey, skating pandas and a zillian bird nests just increased the exhaustion. Keith's Dinner looked good (interesing anyway). I identified the shortbread by sight, but not the oat cakes. Your video brought back the smiles.
I now know the difference between the Kingdom and the Commonwealth I think. Scotland is part of the Kingdom, Canada is not. But Canada is part of the Commonwealh and Scotland also is part of the Commonwealth.
As I said June...Lots of laughs but also education.. I'd never heard of the outer banks... you've now been introduced to the Kingdom and the commonwealth...
I think the Gabfest and the gabbers are a great bunch, we grow and learn with each month.
You're still spelling the scotch as the Irish though...
Take 100 lines
Repeat 100 times...
Scotch Whisky has no e..lol
November has drawn to a close and so has this thread.
Look for The LG Osprey GABFEST - December, 2011
June... It's all in fun. I'm sure you'll remember now though!! LOL
I know, black Jag. be sure & read the opening Dec welcome statement. If I ever get it all over there from my word processor. I'll have to do it piece by piece.
By the way, Isn't it past your bedtime? Too much St Andrew's cheer?
Unknown said: On the subject of respect, on another thread it's been pointed out that it is 11-11-11 no difference in UK and US dates. I am in wonder this morning, of all mornings, I found this growing in my back garden... It's a poor image, taken on my phone, but you can see a tiny wild poppy We will remember them.

Jag, I'm glad you approve. I have also posted you on Facebook.
Willow, I'm posting you there too. Oh my, I'm getting my Gabfest editions mixed up!
Diane, you may never find this comment, but over the years I have bought several items from this company - a haggis even!
Not a true Scottish haggis, but at least I have some idea what it is. I'll probably place an order soon, for something Scottish for Christmas.
I'm on this old thread looking for some special Veterans Day/Remembrance Day posts from 11-11-11 when I was online with Jag at 11:11 am Scottish time.
