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 B&B glad you are here.
Hi, Lowry, Fish, Black Jag, Valc: Maybe we all just partied too much at our music night and talked ourselves out. That wee drop in my mulled cider didn't even give me a headache the next morning, so it can't be the drink. The mulled cider I made for real was really tasty, btw, even without the imaginary "wee drop". I intend to mull the remaining half gallon, but used up all my cinnamon sticks & must remember to get some more before I can proceed.
I was just on other threads trying to make heads & tails of any news anyone has had. Seems there have been some new reports but everything is still the same.. So we hold our breath & wait till Mon or maybe tues. Seems that is when the next sat info is due.
Black Jag, I trust your afternoon photo session went well.
A good old fashioned bonfire-weinie roast sounds good. An only slightly burned weiner on a bun with some mustard and a little pickle relish, and of course a choice of pop to wash it down with - pepsi, grape, orange or some good ol "red pop". Then some flaming hot marshmallows to finish off.
Hi June,yes looks like we have to wait until next week for news of our birds,very quiet here tonight,apart from the fireworks going off.
Hey, Bright, WE LOVE YOU. big mouth and all! :) Don't get mad at me, I"m Just kidding. Just glad to see you back. You were planning to check out that gorgeous looking cake shop today. Did you get to do that?
June I may be wrong thought it was tomorrow when B&B was going to the cake shop.
It is so noisy here and a recession but do wonder where people find the money to buy fireworks from but maybe, a treat
My dog is sat in the window and not bothered by the fireworks and put it down to the reason from a working dog breed. My others I had to get tranquilsers from the vets.
Really strange and Guy Fawkes tried to blow up houses of Parliament and find it amazing to be celebrated. Suppose that is where the bonfires come from to burn the guy.
Penny for the guy, We did that once with a friend in the pram dressed up and this horrible man ran after us and said I will burn that guy and swearing. Not funny when you are kids. My mother was so angry I had done that as she called it begging lol
I really do not feel like I should comment on here as feel really bad about last night.
B&B stay here with us pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
You are entitled to your opinions.
June I am going tomorrow and really looking forward to it.
Night all and going to watch tv if I can find anything worth watching.
If anyone is wrong. lowry, it's probably me.
I let your "bonfire" pass over my head & just talked nonsense, but when you said "fireworks" I got it that something was going on. A holiday? Guy Fawkes? Yes, I've heard you do celebrate that with bonfires. So I googled it & sure nuff, it is GF day. I've been reading something about that in our news as I understand many of the protesters are wearing GF masks.
It sounds like a war zone here June,same last night as well,my sisters dog will be going mad as will many other pets.
