Ken, why not just move to Bletchley?

[fenbadger]

[lou1063]

We should all move there, set up a commune xx

[fenbadger in reply to lou1063]

Now that's the best idea I've heard for ages

[Betty67 in reply to fenbadger]

Sign me up.

[Hidden in reply to Betty67]

Me tooooo pls

[Hidden in reply to lou1063]

Not sure Lou, we would all be arguing over who done the cleaning

Oh to heck with it, count me in too

[TheAuthor in reply to lou1063]

Good thinking! I'm in x

[ell2]

Me 2

[fenbadger in reply to ell2]

Come along. Plenty of room. Can I have Alan Turing's old office? Promise not to dig it up

[Hidden]

Plenty of room for the elephants, giant ducks and whatever other pieces of topiary you can find

[TheAuthor in reply to Hidden]

Chupacabra, Loch Ness Monster and my collection of Carnivorous plants as well please? x

[Hidden in reply to TheAuthor]

Well I think that is all bases covered, unless you want a topiary TARDIS

[fenbadger in reply to Hidden]

how about that TARDIS allotment shed I found a while ago?

[Hidden in reply to fenbadger]

That would work, and give us something else to chat about in between keeping all those topiary animals in shape

[Shadows-walker]

I've already been there , amazing place , there's a coragrate shed round the back and Winston Churchill used to lose his bowler regularly by a 12 yr old throwing crab apples at him . 😊 They were very taken with my daughter abbi when we were there , there is a lady called Audrey Lewis who lives near me she worked there during the war , and has a letter from Nevel chamberlain thanking her for her war work , there is also a historic post office there as well 😘

[fenbadger in reply to Shadows-walker]

I'm impressed.

there's a big chess set on the back lawn

a former Bletchley girl lives not far from me

[fenbadger]

I'll do my share of cleaning if you'll let me have somewhere to burrow

[Shadows-walker in reply to fenbadger]

Only your share ,that doesn't seem fare , it would be a privilege to live with us lot , think of all the advantages you would have ,

Are sarcasm,

Are irritating pets

Mine and kens fish

The gardens to weed

Are shoes to polish

The ironing

You could go round at night lighting the gas lights

The list is endless

[fenbadger in reply to Shadows-walker]

You haven't mentioned beatings. I want my share of beatings

May I lick your shoes instead?

Fink I would like shadow, murphy, cassie, poppie and Mr Benjamin

[Shadows-walker in reply to fenbadger]

Now I not into beating myself , but I am sure we can find someone to build some stocks ,I should of realised after that picture the other day

Will Welles be ok , they are pretty with daisy all over them

I am sure shadow and Murphy will be fine with the idea as long as your good to be here mistress.

[fenbadger in reply to Shadows-walker]

One worry is will Shadow and Meg lead each other on?

[Shadows-walker in reply to fenbadger]

It's ok shadow is an it ,got no bits ,Murphys the one you have to be worried about all those little beagles would be fun though 😄

[Hidden in reply to Shadows-walker]

I got worried for a bit there that this conversation was going into the realms of Fifty Shades of Badger

[Shadows-walker in reply to Hidden]

I know 😉 ,good job I am a shadow of my former self isn't it , although a shadow tends to be grey 😖

[Hidden in reply to Shadows-walker]

whiplash indulgence causing you to be a shadow

[Shadows-walker in reply to Hidden]

Excuse you I will have you know I have never had whip lash in any form , ( chance would be s fine thing )

How dare you suggest such a thing , :0

[Hidden in reply to Shadows-walker]

Hehe, wondered with you being 'She who must be obeyed' a little dominating don't you think

[Shadows-walker in reply to Hidden]

Nooooooo!

Loved that film as a kid , haven't seen it in years , to be honest hadn't thought about that bit till you said ,I am very quite and lady like to be honest , quite shy with that sort of stuff , I say things in total navitity sometimes and my kids crack up , my daughter was playfully calling me something in front of her friend the other day and he was shocked because I laughed back , she asked me the next day if I new what it was I didn't she burst out laughing,and told me I was rather shocked but it's done it's said she wasn't being nasty . I was a bit sheltered if you know what I mean.

Off to hospital

Chris x

[Hidden in reply to Shadows-walker]

My hubby teases me that I am a flirt and always have been, problem has always been that I can talk the talk but that is it, first person to take me seriously and I run a mile I am very much a one man woman, bless him, he is stuck with me

I use to be the only woman working with a group of young men I was also very single. I didn't understand half of what they said to me and blushed too easily. Got good advice from my Mum and never looked back

Good luck this afternoon

[Shadows-walker in reply to Hidden]

Are that's where I went wrong,didn't have one to ask ! I don't know I was a very confident young woman , I modelled at art collage both for photos and clothes I was a bit of a madam I suppose pretty and I new it sometimes , but I lost that when I married and now with all the fibro etc , I can't see how anybody would be interested in me ,little bit of nonsense on here ok , but I haven't really got anything to offer know ,

[Hidden in reply to Shadows-walker]

Of course you do! I enjoy our little banters and I am sure there are plenty of others who do as well Don't let fibro rob you of your confidence, that little madam is still in there, she just needs coaxing out

[fenbadger in reply to Hidden]

I'll second that. Don't do yourself down. Behind the fibro and the rest you're still that Chris, and don't you forget it XX

[TheAuthor in reply to fenbadger]

My cacti collection always needs a good dust!

[fenbadger in reply to TheAuthor]

There's a conservatory just for them

[TheAuthor]

Now we are talking! Bletchley sounds great and I can fir all of those topiary in there?

[fenbadger in reply to TheAuthor]

Loads of space, and a pond, well lake, just behind the photographer

[Shadows-walker in reply to fenbadger]

There were a couple of suicides in that pond you know ,it's a bit creepy at night 👻

[TheAuthor in reply to Shadows-walker]

I didn't know that? Sounds awful.

[Shadows-walker in reply to TheAuthor]

It was something to do with a couple of the chap being gay I think ,and a breakdown. They don't mention it on the tour ,but it's in the history somewhere obviously it was such a big help in the war ,that's what they talk about , still an amazing place , the enigma machine etc .

[TheAuthor in reply to Shadows-walker]

Thanks that is quite interesting as I had not heard of it either x

[Shadows-walker in reply to TheAuthor]

Can't remember if it was my friend Audrey who was there or I saw a documentary or we were told by a her godfather he's a war history buff

[fenbadger in reply to Shadows-walker]

And Lorenz (if that's the right spelling)

We treated gays abominably but were still happy to benefit from their contribution. Alan Turing for example

[Shadows-walker in reply to fenbadger]

Indeed ,people are awfully to others that are different sometime !

[fenbadger in reply to Shadows-walker]

Don't I know it. I have a lot of sympathy for those who suffer discrimination, and mine was quite mild in comparison.

Even my dad wanted me restrained by tying a hand behind my back (school, too)

My crime? being left handed

[Shadows-walker in reply to fenbadger]

My teacher did that to me, something are done left handed where they let me be at home ,grandad and dad were both left handed , but school was different, my son is ambidextrous he's fine different times thank goodness on most things.

Chris

[fenbadger in reply to Shadows-walker]

I learnt some things right handed, it's less significant as an adult. It makes computer easier. I use right hand mouse and then can take notes.

All the best people are left handed.

[Shadows-walker in reply to fenbadger]

See theirs always a plus ☺️

[TheAuthor in reply to fenbadger]

Will there be somebody to pick up our choccy rappers?

[Shadows-walker in reply to TheAuthor]

I can't see any on that lawn where !

[TheAuthor in reply to Shadows-walker]

We are bound to drop a few from time to time, like most days?

[fenbadger in reply to TheAuthor]

Ok, ok, i get the message. As I'm closest to the ground I'll do the litter pick

[TheAuthor in reply to fenbadger]
