I see the Welsh Bobsleigh team are making their final preparations out in Beijing.

 

 

Would that be a green green grass of home fixture?

Well, they're not going to win with the bloke at the back not even looking in the right direction!

Do they live in Ramsbottom?

If they do there's a fair chance they might be eating Black Puddings !

[Captain Kernow]

Ah, whatever happened to Black Pudding Bertha?

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.

Or horse drawn carts in North Eastern Railway goods yards.

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.

They could be running for cover from the locals, safety in numbers!

never mind Cool running

its Wet running

 

[MrWolf]

It's so grey and rainy here you can't even see the sheep.

 

You just hear the occasional clang as a feed trough collides with a drystone wall at about forty mph...

[NHY 581]

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.

And we all thought you had retired!

 

We'll all be looking out for your debut as Poirot.

Thank you Rob for that very comprehensive report on such a mysterious crime.

[Winslow Boy]

You've been squirrelled. The internationally renowned Scone Stealing Squirrel Squad has obviously gone on a walkabout.

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?

Don't rate his chances questioning the cats and they always have the best legal representation.

I thought that cats just relied on the cast iron alibi of "It can't have been me, I'm cute...... Look at this face!"

To be fair, that's a pretty good defence!
