RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 6, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2022 Bizarrely, I popped into the Chemist on Friday to collect a prescription ( the usual). I found myself in a queue. The gentleman presented himself to the assistant and he was asked his name.............. "Tom" he replied. "Tom Brooke Taylor" I chuckled quietly. 2 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted February 6, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) We've herd about them Welsh ewes and their tank and we'em taking cover. Mind you when we started talking unkindly about Welsh sheep this peaceful flock had puzzled looks on their faces.

At least you only have to dodge the odd steaming pile, unlike when you're stuck behind a bus on a motorcycle and nearly choking on the diesel fumes. Just over the border,, this big scruffy aggressive looking bunch have put on far too much warpaint. It's like ladies night in Burnley.... I thought I'd sent them packing to Hopesay. 4 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted February 8, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2022 Ahem. Morning all. There has been an "incident" at Chateau Sheep overnight. Approximately 2200hrs on the night of Monday 7th February 2022, we retired for the night leaving the Works Forecat asleep on a spare bed in bed room one and George asleep on a sofa in the front parlour. Prior to retiring, perimeter checks were conducted and all entrances/ exits were locked and secured. The sole exception to this was the designated feline entrance/exit which was left insecure to facilite comfort breaks throughout the night. It was noted that two, small, home made Courgette muffins were defrosting in a bag in the kitchen, ready for the mid-morning break having been so placed by the Memsahib, just before she retired. On entering the kitchen this morning, approximately 0700hrs, both T.W.F and George were present and were enthusiastically about their breakfast. It was subsequently noted in passing that said muffins observed the previous evening were conspicuous by their absence. Despite an initial search their whereabouts could not be easily established. The Works Forecat and George had made good their escape in the interim and were at large in the grounds. On opening the door providing access into said grounds it was immediately noted that one of the missing muffins was now lying on its side, adjacent to the designated feline entrance/exit. There was no apparent distress caused to the muffin which appeared unmolested. A more expansive, systematic check of the grounds has thus far failed to locate the second missing muffin or missing bag. Current hypothesis is that the bag was "snatched" at an as yet unconfirmed time between 2200hrs last night and 0700hrs this morning. The culprit has made off through the feline entrance/exit, dropping muffin one in their haste to escape. At this time we have an open mind and no eventualities or suspects have been ruled out. Enquiries are ongoing. 5 3 2 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It wasn't until I read the part about muffins that I realised you hadn't had to deal with an actual burglar by demonstrating some of the interesting things you have learned on your travels. You don't,, by any chance, suspect one of the cats? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
