Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

Old fashioned, me?


Me too, I very nearly applied to crew on the tall ships race when I was young and fit and sailing a lot, always regretted never doing it.

Paul's Dad did it a few years back, and said it was very rewarding.

My pigs stay where we put them, and I haven't been using them for ham before someone asks.

They love living in their woodland during the summer.

But Hayleug (if that's how you spell her) is in love with your Old Chap - she'd never leave

This is very true. I suppose she might try to follow him to work.

Best phrase ever! I'm going to find a way to use it this weekend (ante and postnatal pilates - got to offer some potential, surely!?)

How about livestock that stays that way, unless you don't want it to.

Erm. The ultimate for me was oxen, and I have them now. I don't really see 'wants' as pipedreams, because I just *know* deep down that if I want it enough, it'll happen come hell or high water

At the moment I want another german shep as a playmate for the current one. In a few weeks it should be happening.

also, I could never have enough ixworths!
