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.

Lowry, it is a shame and probably the cakes will not be legendry anymore.
I cannot believe I am boomeranging during the day.
I must walk my dog before it gets dark but at least done the hoovering lol.
Lowry, this has been the way of halloween for a good number of years now,
B&Boomerang.lol it is a shame the wee shops like that one struggle to survive.. once they are lost a town is poorer for it.
I'm away now, night shift, have a good evening all.
I'll look in in the morning.
All for one and one for all.
The best Big Cake Place in Lanarkshire is at the Paul Bradford Sugarcraft School. The school is located in the idyllic countryside setting of Westerwood Farm, about 18 miles from Edinburgh. The school shares the same grounds as the Cupcake Cafe Bar. It’s a lovely peaceful place to enjoy learning.
Hi Eagle-eye, I have looked it up an the school does courses in cake decorating etc. Have you been on a course there? Another question can you go and try the cakes? I can only find limited info and maybe I am looking on the wrong websites. I would love to have a ride over there on Sunday as not far from me and something to look forward to.
Thanks very much for posting and love it :)
not sure I like my new name B&Boomerang but maybe could be appropriate.
This is supposed to be attached to Black jags post but somehow think will be on its own, I can never get this right

mmmm how did I get it the wrong way round. I was supposed to quote on Black jags not put his message under mine. I totally found a new way of replying first to the post lol
Hi All
Funny how diverse the chat is on here, !!!!
i never know what i'm going to be reading about when i turn on the computer,
it's great i'm lovin this thread,
B&B that cake school has a cafe, the menu looks good, try looking here,

then click on the picture of the cafe.
I adore Clooty Dumpling and have a lovely recipe that our elderly Scottish friend gave me years ago. Must make another one soon. You have all put me in the notion now!!!
Had to laugh today as I was driving along. I saw a Heron flying overhead chased by a crow. They never pick on anything there own size do they????
valc what a wonderful sight a Heron being chased by a crow, was it carrying a fish and I have read they worry Ospreys also. Trying to remember what male this year was having problems with crows? No shame on the scroungers lol.
I think June would probably love the recipe valc.
Thanks sugar and Eagle-eye and I am going to go there on Sunday and will give a report when I am back :)
good evening everyone - is this the boomerang room?
