I think of her mostly as Margo Ledbetter on The Good Life/Neighbors. First saw her in a Mrs Peel Avengers, as one of the clients of the murdering marriage brokers. I'd be happy to tour some ancient villages with her.

I'd forgotten about her appearance in The Avengers Jer! After The Good Life, she was in a pretty awful drama called To The Manor Born

Geez, Randy, take it easy! Maybe you should wear shower shoes, at least until you can dry off.

Randy don't be alarmed when it turns blue.
That means it's getting better.
Green no .go to the doctor.
If I was touring English villages or canal boating or vandalising community centres or any of the multitude of English pastimes Is rather do it with England's greatest beauty Kate Bush.

Factor in her genius and she's the queen of them all. (Present company, when present, excepted of course, unless Kate were present.)

First emergency response call of the summer.....

Awe, did the heat get him, or what?

They fly in the shop during the day.... the doors go down in the evening.... then they are without nourishment. It only takes a very short period without natures nectar for their little systems to shut down. If you can get to em in time and place their little beaks in the sugar water most of the time they will ever so slowly begin to drink. When recharged they take flight (usually without clearance from the flight tower).

I got to reading the post I missed here and adding my 2 cents I forgot to post what I wanted to post here this morning.

I woke up at about 7:00 this morning everything went as usual I got up, started the coffee, jumped in the shower went back into the bedroom to put on my clothes. Now the floors in my apt are tile and my feet were a bit wet from the shower so I started into the bedroom my feet slid in opposite directions and almost instantly I was laying in the floor starring at the ceiling. Didn't realize I could still do a split but I can. Bruised my hip and my right knee and thigh are swollen almost 3 times their normal size and I feel like I've been in a fight with a gang of Ninjas. Yep the old man busted his A#$ good this morning and I sure hope this isn't just a taste of what's in store for me this week.
MY KNEE

Sorry to hear about your crash landing, Randy!!
How are you doing today? Sometimes the second or third day are the worst for me after some kind of "body trauma"!

Maybe you should hang a feeder in the shop.

As long as she does not eat the flowers!

Honestly it never occurred to me. Excellent idea. Thanks Jer.

Haha! Cats are odd creatures, surprisingly territorial and possessive even more so than dogs. My cat was stalking a Hare the other week, she goes after it but he lopes off unconcerned as not only does she lack a Hare's stamina for long chases but it was twice her size.

She left a beheaded Viper for me near the front-door as a "I'm not to be outdone" symbol. This snake hunting is dangerous, did she eat the head??

 

[meako]

The head has the fangs....one wrong chew.
Most of the snakes around here are deadly venomous .Only the guttsiest Jack Russell would be stupid enough to take one on.
Even then it would have needed to go to a Mongoose special forces training course.

My mum sent me this pic.
She remembers the place....obviously from when she got her bayonet sharpened up before sailing to Ypres to fight in the trenches before she was born.
Gillott was a noted Cutler and pen maker.
