I didn't mean to suggest you join West Midland Bird Club!! I meant to say that joining your local Ornithological Group might be similar i.e. you could visit reserves on your own but not attend meetings if you didn't want to. I'm still not explaining myself very well but hopefully you will get what I mean :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-37703263771381290582012-12-11T22:00:25.633+00:002012-12-11T22:00:25.633+00:00Tricia - The Rep are definitely to be congratulate...Tricia - The Rep are definitely to be congratulated - they got it just right - remained true to the book which is always nice to see.<br /><br />One of these days I will have a go at making Mulled Wine myself :) They also did a Mulled Apple Juice which son enjoyed as he doesn't drink.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-16902253441004968822012-12-11T17:43:51.700+00:002012-12-11T17:43:51.700+00:00Sounds a wonderful production, Caroline... always ...Sounds a wonderful production, Caroline... always a favourite story with most generations and I'm still a kid when it comes to Wind in the Willows et al..

I know what you mean about lo...Hi Jan - Thanks :) <br /><br />I know what you mean about local groups because they can appear very "cliquey" and I also like to bird watch on my own or with family not with a group. I am a member of the West Midland Bird Club (never been to any of the meetings though) but you still get permits to visit their reserves so it might be worth considering. You could play as much or as little of an active role then as you liked.<br /><br />Thanks for the birthday wishes. I suppose its not really problems as such with mom although she is going through a very aggressive phase I think the enormity of looking after her financial affairs etc., has hit me!!! Its just a cold but I am a bit of a "baby" and hate being unwell! Could callit my version of man flu!!!!!!<br /><br />Toffeeapple - Oh yes, the play was great fun :) Have you read any of the Wind in the Willows "sequels" by William Horwood? They are hysterical and he writes in same style as Grahame and does a good job I think.<br /><br />With the badgers after vaccination they cut off a bit of fur and daub with red "paint" so they don't vaccinate twice :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-50560865355331020762012-12-11T16:11:48.756+00:002012-12-11T16:11:48.756+00:00The play sounds enormous fun; I have recently star...The play sounds enormous fun; I have recently started to re-read the book, I had forgotten how well written it is.<br /><br />I wonder how the Vaccinators know which Badgers they have treated?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-54004225894849285552012-12-11T13:53:38.184+00:002012-12-11T13:53:38.184+00:00Hi Caroline, I love the tie-up between your two ex...Hi Caroline, I love the tie-up between your two excursions ;-) I'm sure the play was excellent (the book is one of my husband's favourites too) and anything which Alan Bennett has a hand in is sure to be good! The Badger Group talk sounded very interesting too. Talking of local groups we have a local Ornithological Society which part of me would like to join...but....the other part would feel rather intimidated. I've never been a 'joiner' really but there are several, small reserves locally which only members have access to.<br /><br />Many (belated) Happy Birthday wishes :-) So sorry to see there are problems with your Mum again and that you haven't been too well recently. I do hope things improve for you soon!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-72599903628481770372012-12-10T23:22:52.655+00:002012-12-10T23:22:52.655+00:00Rohrerbot - thanks Chris - problems come to a head...Rohrerbot - thanks Chris - problems come to a head again with Mum, plus have stinking cold and cough, a bday last weekend and Cmas on horizon and still have loads to do :)<br /><br />I won't be vaccinating :( 4 day course involved although you are putting ideas in my head :) The protective gear they have to wear is unbelievable! <br /><br />Wish I could send you a glass of mulled wine - my favourite :) But enjoy a virtual one!!!Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-4863975811538092052012-12-10T21:11:41.896+00:002012-12-10T21:11:41.896+00:00Hi there:)
No need to apologize. Sounds like you...Hi there:)<br /><br />No need to apologize. Sounds like you're very busy. And what an adventure ahead for you....just be careful. Badgers are aggressive:) I know you know that....but still, I just have to write it:) I can only imagine the experiences you'll have...please share your pics and experience:) So glad you're helping these critters out and preventing their extinction from your area. Do you have any of that mulled wine left?:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.com
