Visitor Moorings

Well these are but a handful of geese that often occupy the piece of land where the pub / restaurant is going to be built next year. There’s that many of them I couldn’t get them all in one photo!

We were trundling past the visitor moorings (the other side) one day & there were about 20 of them lined up as if waiting for a bus. The moment I grabbed the camera they flew off. It would’ve made a great photo, but alas not.

So the question is, will they be evicted, will they stage a stand in, (barking squatters), or will they move onto the visitor moorings all squished together…?

Fascinating…

Oh no! another Dale Farm and squatters being evicted. I shall report it to the tree huggers society when I have finished my coffee.

My one abiding memory of Dale Farm on the news was a collection of "ladies" you would not want to meet on a dark night. Manning (so to speak) the barricades shouting "We are travellers and were not moving"!

Thank you Mr Meerkat,

I shall be writing to FART about it myself. [Full Aquisition (of) Retaining Territory] in an effort to begin the process of eviction.

So far 2 associations have been created by local officials:

WWAPP = We Want A Posh Pub.

SBOG = So Bugger Off Geese.

Placards will be available for a small fee, & all funds raised will be donated to farmers trying to bring up larger potato's.

PS: That "woman?" with the gob at Dale Farm would make a wonderful companion for Freddy Kruger.

Keep the faith bro,

My solution for Canadian geese is pillows!! I did meet someone somewhere some time ago but not that long ago who had a canadian goose feather stuffed pillow and said he has never slept better. Now where did I meet him?? I have not seen any Canadian geese recently, Brent Geese I think.....

Dave said to let you know he's caught one & it's hanging off the bow to "cure."

You can have the feathers for your pillow, & we're saving the rest for a Christmas meal when you get back.

Squawk,
