The Brits and your southern neighbours are still very colonialist. It's an easy way to wealth.<br /><br />He has not one but several houses similar to this. This is the jewel in his crown.<br /><br />Canada gained independence long after the war of independence. We Brits hate the death but do love the war. We torched the White House just before you became free.<br /> <br />Canadians have a climate to fight. We do need restraining. Perhaps our new governor of the bank will restrain us. I don't think he has a chance. He'll be back westward to home and freedom within an eighteen month. He'll have ripped us off.<br /><br />His house runs out to two villages, all more or less dependant on the success of tourism and how attractive it is. <br /><br />He is doing his best.

Then by July they are hopping and skipping about like Bamby.<br />Come and see what he is preserving. Come here to Chatsworth or Bolton Abbey where by cutting and judicious replanting he has created the vistas that Turner painted. What is more it is all wheel chair friendly. His dad was a wanker but though I've never met the current Duke he is doing a brilliant job.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-19138394457155602692013-02-03T19:29:26.789+00:002013-02-03T19:29:26.789+00:00I like your Deer, who live with the Lord, gord hel...I like your Deer, who live with the Lord, gord help us.Bob Bushellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819577478571292055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-7449202866879893912013-02-03T18:10:45.602+00:002013-02-03T18:10:45.602+00:00All white Angly Saxyies...were the pond life.

Dogs running amok, likewise their offspring....not the dogs issue...the parents.<br /> Laura was round this morning and was watching the birds on my feeder. Two little girls where playing hide and seek round the van. <br />Laura had never seen a Nuthatch...told her they were very very rare and I'd had to buy cashew nuts soaked in vintage brandy to tempt one.<br />The kids went away...amazing how a girl can get away with opening the van door and shouting. 'Fuck off you wee bastards and now! I'm trying to watch a rare bird'.<br />Laura is a rare bird so she should know one.<br />We have had a visit from the Indian site warden over the children and Laura. She gave him a hug and a kiss and thanked him for doing an impossible job. Could he have a word with the little children, if the word failed could he curry them for a Take-away?<br /> Don't get paranoid Keith. Bad behaviour is not a racial issue. It's the issue of bad parentage that is the issue.<br />Have a good trip to the sanity of Wales and don't let those Welsh bastards get to you.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
