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.

B&B.. it's two different species..
yes Veggie Haggis does indeed grow, but not on trees, in fields..
the meat ones, run free and wild in the highlands.. the live on steep slopes and are either right or left haggis... right ones have longer right legs, left ones, well, yes, longer left legs.. left and right haggis cant interbreed..
the rason for the longer legs is to assist them as they navigate the steep higland slopes..
All for one and one for all.
Yes, the last suggested list for music nite theme was something like this:
1, Sixties hits
2. Musicals, plays or movies
3 Opera -- operetta, black & white movies, symphony, classic
4 National Songs: -- Patriotic or folksongs of Scotland, England, Ireland, & USA
5 Fifties Rock & Roll & pop music
ha ha Black jag I was only jesting with Original Goldfish and cannot believe I kept my dog out of the haggis breeding area. I asked the question are they live and was told yes and no way will I ever fall for it again. I pleased that the caravan club have a humour and they have at Edinburgh:) The sites are immaculate but I find them such snobby sites and not friendly by some of the people that use them and also they are booked up most of the year and even as a member cannot get on them.
Now isn't that what's called "cheeky" - taking a tray of overly sweet sweeties in to your dentist?
Thanks June..
I was born in the sixties.. so don't really remeber much, I'd be happy to listen in and learn
same for musicals, opera.. as for the fifties...!!.. when was that??
So my choice would be National songs..
Over to all you Gabbers...new and more mature..lol
HI FOLKS -- BJ put me right if i am wrong , but isn't it correct that the only way to catch a HAGGIS ( the proper one) is to consume half a bottle of malt first ?????????????
Yes June.. but that's just me... lol
He liked it but as I said.. just shook his head..

Yes Sunshine...
With at least half a bottle in you, it means the Beasts cant work out which way you will stagger.. therefore they run right into you.. lol
Good for you B&B, joining in with the fun at the site..
I've always fancied a camper van, maybe some day..
Sunshine maybe at the weekend when I can watch I will give you half a bottle of malt first:)
Black jag that is so funny and can see them running into you and not my sensible friend Sunshine. I am laughing so much it hurts
