AARGH THE FOG.

[fenbadger]

And a photo for Foggy, Lipbalmaddict and any one else who likes 'osses.

For the second time this week I went to my pill box and discovered I hadn't taken the last lot. The odd time won't kill me but this is getting to be a habit. Anyway some of the meds are night or morning for good reasons.

Oh the ponies belong to a farmer who lets the wildlife trust use them for conservation grazing. We're not supposed to get friendly but what do you do when you get a clout on the shoulder and a blast of hot sweet breath in the lug hole? Silver blaze is the leader and Star not far behind. Imaginative names (mine I hasten to add) Silver Blaze is named after a character in a Sherlock Holmes story

They can be very therapeutic as can lots of animals. It's just one reason I support the Donkey Sanctuary in Branscombe.

This lot are gorgeous and come up for grooming, Being semi wild we have to be very careful.

[fenbadger in reply to Ginsing]

Hi Gins. Yes, they're just across the river but 45 mins walk. They've been evacuated as the river's overflowing. It's too dangerous for us, and worse, there's no grazing above water

[Hidden]

Ahhhhh gorgeous! Thank you, that's made my day xx

[fenbadger]

They are, but what a shot that was of yours from the saddle

As I said, we're not supposed to approach them, as you know in a herd situation they can be quite spiteful and that 600kg can do a lot of damage. But what can you do when they come over and start grooming you!

Sorry, 'Ampshire 'og. In Padstow on Mayday they have the 'obby 'oss. The dance start with "Oss oss, we off"

[Hidden in reply to fenbadger]

At least you understood it I have lived here all my adult life and still have problems.Its the oi and I that drives me made eg to the dog "good bye (boy) bring me your tie (toy)" or" I`ll put some i`ll (oil) in the car" I still think uh, then have to think about it Sue

[fenbadger]

Funny that. It's a lovely dialect and you're close enough to Warwick (I'm waiting for a smack) to think of Shakespeare talking loike tha'. Slings and arrers of outroijus fowrtoon.

My late father in law came from Ayr but moved away when young. He couldn't understand his own family in later life

[Mrs_Somerset]

Beautiful 'orses

[Hidden]

apparently the black country dialect is the closest thing left to angelo saxon, some of the olduns still say thee and thy. doesn`t make it any easier to understand.

[fenbadger in reply to Hidden]

I have a story. There was a man asking directions in Yorkshire. He was southerner. He spent all day walking up and down the road because he didn't know what a ginnel was. Hey, that word's in the spellchecker

[fenbadger]

And because of that some only do it out of badness

[Hidden in reply to fenbadger]

Ok I give up what is it?

[fenbadger in reply to Hidden]

Morning Sue. Hehehehe. Alley with a sense of too narrow for a car. Simple as that. I've also heard it called a snicket in Yorkshire, Durham and Scotland Paul x

[Hidden in reply to fenbadger]

That's a Lonning where I come from LOL

[fenbadger in reply to Hidden]

Think oil collect thayse. . . any more contributions? Oh, what have yow started, Sue. . . .

[Hidden]

I dont think that the Black Country have a word for alley. In fact there is a saying thats common here" he could n stop a pig up an alley" any ideas?

[fenbadger in reply to Hidden]
