You certainly put a smile on my face. :o)))))

I've enjoyed reading your blog bb, you are very talented as well as caring. So many people aren't aware of all the wonders around them. To earn the trust of someone is an achievement but to gain the trust of a wild creature is special indeed.

Fantastic photos BB as always. Very thought provoking blog.

Thank you again for the lovely comments ..obviously lucky to have such surroundings we had the most lovely journey across the moors today with every type of weather well almost ..it didnt snow .

Frost fog rain hail ..then sun ! Visited Staithes a little gem ...

Fantastic!! I loved the poem AND the pics!

Thanks Mp ..thought of you today as we drove past Whitby abbey hubby wasnt in though ..or more likely out for the count ..

Lol! If it was daylight, he must've been!!

Not going back now to check thats for sure ..according to a film on later tonight we have werewolves here too ..lol

What's the film Ray? Not The American Werewolf in London, surely,

Yes Dawn ! 11pm C5 hope Toto sees it as he s been in the pub ..thought he looked strangely familiar ...

I cant believe it Ray. We were only talking about this last week when Toto was on the Moors.
So do I need to look out for Toto in the Slaughtered Lamb?

Lol!! Its not a full moon tonight, you're relatively safe!!!

Aye Dawn esp if he smiles at you what a coincidence ..does that keep bats in too Mp ?

Bonkers....What a brilliant blog...Your little peoms always make me smile and your photos are always wonderful...........I for one hope you never get clicked with a filter............

Theyre still firmly in my belfry, Ray!!

Aw Milky thats sweet of you ..you say that now but you know what I m like when get together with Toto as for filtering I believe it to be pretty painless bet if you could wire me up to something you d consider it ... x

Thats good to hear Mp ..erm I think , mine permanently roost there.

It really is enchanting - as well as amusing...indeed very much in the spirit of GOY.

Me wonder about nonsense Sue ? Thought never crossed my mind ..I live on it ..

....if life seems pretty rotten - theres one thing you ve forgotten ,
And thats to laugh and smile and dance and sing ,
When youre feeling in the dumps dont be silly chumps ,
Just purse your lips and whistle - thats the thing ,

And ..

Always look on the bright side of life ..... Der d, der d, der d. der d !! :~))))))

You're totally confusing me now!!

Sue, I did get the Python link!! I know I'm tired & thick, but I'm not THAT bad!!

Rrrrrrrrrrr yes i remember it Now :) Thanx Jane My Memory just isnt what it used to be :( XXXXX

Mine neither Jacque.Often go into a room and then stand for ages wondering what it was I wanted ! Lol

U stand & wait !! i go off 4 a while then go back or id be standing there all nite trying 2 remember lol :)

Trouble is if I go off I cant remember which room I came out of LOL...let alone why I went in there !! LOL

LMAO :) im not that bad yet Jane/Ray but when it does happen My 2 Teenagers have a good giggle @ me saying here we go the guessing game again lol :)

LOL !

:D The Joys of Getting Old with Teenagers around :)

They take no prisoners Jacque !! :o)

Thats a Shame lol :) My Son offten tells me im going in a Home so he can have Raves lol :)

A Home Jacque? Makes me shudder to think of it ......

LOL :)

Lol, I went on holiday 2 years ago with my dad ( & some more of the family) and after a week of being woken at 6am every day & asked if I wanted to go fishing, I told him that if my stepmum's not around when he needs full-time care, HE'S going in a home! He just laughed at me! :~))

Oh Mp reminds me of the time took my mother home to Ireland as in early stages of Alzheimers and talked incessantly about it having forgotten she d been living in England for years.

Despite the seriousness of her condition we laughed all over Ireland - its not gardening related but so funny I treasure those memories before the illness progressed.

I think you HAVE to find 'light' moments, or it makes it so hard to cope with!
I used to work in an OFH, & one lady had an invisible child 'living' in her room, & I had to get 'her' ready for school every morning! It cracked me up one morning when M (the lady) complained that 'the bairn' was misbehaving, & I told her off! M then asked me why I was scolding a chair, when the bairn was under the bed! :~))

Awwwwwwwwwww Bless U Mad/Jane/Ray :) My Son tells me im going in 1 cos i play him up so much & he says it in Fun :)xxx

I have to be honest, I couldnt stand to live with my dad! I love him totally, but I think I'd last a day, & I'd lose it!
He's where I get my insanity from!! ;~))

:) Insanitys Great Mad lol ;)

:~))

Are there any 'Blue Parrots' still about ... ??? Was it Martha ... ??? ;~))) lol ! xx
