    Somebody Mrs Scrungee knows got stopped by police for having a sheep in the back seat of her car (this sort of thing is common round here, we've even seen the local shepherd doing it). The police started by suggesting the sheep "was dangerous" and before the driver could respond with references to it smoking tomacco (Simpsons) or armed sheep behind the wainscotting (Monty Python), they said it was because it wasn't wearing a seatbelt!

    When driver then questioned their suggestion that sheep are required by law to use seatbelts, the policeman waffled, got reported and was found to be "over zealous".

        Yes, but your ones are *full* sized ;)
        Although, thinking about it ... pretty sure there is room for one more on top of those two? :whistle:

                A La Ronde, 16 sided 18th century house near the River Exe.
                'This unique sixteen-sided house was described by Lucinda Lambton as having 'a magical strangeness that one might dream of only as a child'.

                It was built for two spinster cousins, Jane and Mary Parminter, on their return from a grand tour of Europe in the late 18th century. It contains many objects and mementoes of their travels.

                The extraordinary interior decoration includes a feather frieze, gathered from native game birds and chickens, laboriously stuck down with isinglass.

                There is also a fragile shell-encrusted gallery, now closed to the public , said to contain nearly 25,000 shells, which can be viewed in its entirety using a touch screen 360 degree virtual tour.'

                      I'm going to risk looking like I'm stalking you ... :redface: ... :oops: ...

                      ... fab shots! :thumbsup:

                      Most especially love the photograph of the geese :wub2: Are you aware that goose eggs (unlike hen/duck/quail) are seasonal? They only lay for a short time each year. So, if you are partial to a goose egg - strike while the iron is hot :heehee:

                            They are for baking, (or breeding!) not boiling/poaching/frying/omletting ;) :heehee:

                            How sad that is to read :frown: - both retiring the farm and you losing your metal detecting rights.
                            Good luck to him in his future ( a long and happy retirement, I hope, after all his hard graft) and I do hope you find another site to "detect" - either that or the new owner gives you continuing rights! :blue thumb:
