I think you over estimate my bravery PP but I'll happily be the water girl! 🙂

I knew you were no hooker Ali-B although I'm sure you would be nimble with the oval ball!! I'm up for a game with the girls, I'm sure TMIW can be talked into putting her boots on and getting into a line up or scrum!! I would be your prop any time Ali as long as you don't go for my pony nuts at half time. Fancy Dave talking about binding tight he is naughty - in the best possible way!!

Some of us may sound brave AliB but I think that's just suicidal! Just think what they could do to your ribs!!

Just read this, you two, the hooker puts the ball in doesn't he and gets it out? so I won't be doing any binding in the scrum Davem and PP what's with the vaseline davem? (Oh for the legs) CB I would love a game of rugby maybe we can organise that boys -v- girls, come on girls help me out!

Steady on ole Dave I need to learn to canter before I gallop!! Where were you when I tried to pass on?

I think that Ali fancies binding tight on PP and sitting accross on his knee !!!!!
God they'd make a formidable duo.- Just watch out for the vaseline Ali !!!

Ali-bach..just don't believe that you have just volunteered to be a 'hooker'🙂 Keep resting those ribs an dhopefully see you ont and about again soon.

Queen Ali-B your minimising it now!! You said to me it was more than a smattering!! Bet you'd be dangerous on the pitch, rather have you in front than behind so I cud keep an eye on you. You'd be a handful in a scrum wouldn't she Dave - come on Dave don't let me fight for the leather on my own!! Ab glad you are gunna take some time off though n "rest the ribs", has the bruising come out yet? Wish you well girlie you are a Hardy - I am more of a Laurel, Lol X

PP If I had eight inches (of snow) last night I would be well pleased! Just for the record I'm meant to be resting so that is what I am going to do this coming week, I have taken my doctors' advice and he said I need to 'rest the ribs' So if you could all stop making me laugh it would be appreciated! I can't believe all that up and under stuff, could I please volunteer for the hooker though, I like going in and getting the ball! Ali bach xxx

That's an "Alls Well" then BK. Catch up soon - PP

No webbed feet as i don't live that close to the levels where they still kill the first born🙂.
Bring on the neighing and mooing.
No real snow with us, just a light smattering this morning.

Awe come on BK it was so natural and convincing - could have had a neighing conversation with you, until you snorted!! (Bit messy that was). Your good at characters too cos the duck trick fooled me - that is such a funny snap. Can I check your feet next time - are they webbed? Lol.
Has it been snowing down there? Got a message from Ali-B to say she has had eight inches last night. I thought it had all cleared up!! Dry as a bone up ear in chilly fens.

Who said I had any photo's!!!! PP the hives are well protected from stamping hoofs plus I won't do my horse impression again for you.

Dave you've opened a Jandoras Box!! There maybe trouble brewing ahead - one sugar lump please!! Hope you didn't mention the game plan cos I think that is where we have gone wrong in the past, well since the mid 70's anyway bach. I want to try the honey honey before I tramp all over BK hives and get stung for damage. I think all electronics need to be confiscated before the next exploration so photographic evidence is avoided - r u in? PS Isn't that what you horse whispered to me!! Looks like another good nite waz had.

Well jandora,I've always found that offence is the best form of defence. So were just going to move that spotlight and its comming East !!!!

Beekeepers a bright bloke and he doesn't want a pit pony trotting over to his hive. lol

I like the idea of the blend of subtle skills and brute strength. It sounds a good game plan to me.

There are going to be alot of good photo opportunities this comming year..... and if were struggling there's always the dark arts of photoshop !!!!

I think Jandora has just opened a big box.. lol

Forgot to mention Dave and Sccchhh don't tell anyone, but Jan for the stocks next time so we must do another Bosworth. Camera ready, I'll get onto Wiggs she's got the snappers eye for it.

Not a truer word spoken Dave - the patient man!. Are we faced with a Rourks Drift here butty. I'm up for that Dave, put me up as prop, you stay on the wing we will get it over the line lots of times.

All I'm going to say is, beware the revenge of the patient man !!!!!
If were doomed PP I think we have a mission to take as many people with us as possible.

Game on !!!!! - Tee hee - be afraid.

I am gunna turn up as a Camel next time in disguise so nobody will recognise me!! Before you reply Jan it will be a one hump camel not two - could not repeat that again!! Twas Daves fault he shouted scrum down and its in me ole blood just doesnt go away like that!! Surely somebody else heard him - silence!!

Dave I got all confused you should have blown the whistle on me n avoid all this!! Naughty, naughty, naughty Jan!!
Wiggs you know how much we chatted, talked, laughed, gave my sandwiches to feed the ducks, threw my pony coat across that muddy path, watched your back on that busy road. Any chance wiping that camera disc sneakily (and all copies!!) lets pretend the stocks n Daves' scene never happened. Have you got a memory erasing pen from the men in black you can loan me. I'll buy you a pint, fill the car up, vodka, meal, theatre tickets, hoover, dig the garden just say!!! I thought I would be in and out before anyone noticed - well except Dave!! Lol.

Think this jan needs reigning in mate, she's trying to give beekeeper his head.

When I said "bind tight and go in hard" I was talking about scrummaging PP.

I think were doombed for ever with that pic mate !!

Knaw!! Drunkard!! Is is BK or CB now? Wish I had been on the walk it was just the distance and the fireworks may have made me bolt!! I Hear a few Chinese lanterns took to the sky too, that would have filled ole PP's eyes - I love all that sort of thing takes me back to when I was a little pony. Awe! I must buy a jar of your honey honey next time - hint!! Lol.
PS Can you please ensure all photo's of me at the stocks are now destroyed/burnt/erased!!! Ta

PP, didn't have to turn my head upside downas it's still spinning from New Years eve.

Naughty, naughty Jan (true though!!) Hope your feeling better Dave - sorry butty thought I was in a scrum not the stocks! Trust Wiggs to have her camera handy.

Putting my head upside down it does look like a badger - did you do the same Beekeeper?

How rude!!!!!
I could have blagged it and said it was frost forming on it. Probably need to take it off soon or do it in that 'odd job' style again. I was quite partial to that.

Are you sure that those individual highlights weren't aimed to make you look like an upside down badger????

PS that is a really soppy photo you!!

I'll have you know you two, PP and CO I am made of strong stuff and you two are good mates and I appreciate you looking after me, Happy new year Penblwydd Newydd Dda. I enjoy the body surfing and the smarties (as you call them Rourky) are doing their job, I will be back in work on Tuesday, drugs willing!!! You are a cheeky bugger Rourky but then I know that, why aren't I surprised, I am game for a laugh and I have broad shoulders!! lol !! xx

Bit of a duracell is our Queen AliB - small package but bursting with lasting energy. Can I have a couple of your grey - sorry characterful - bits then? Pluck em carefully so I can re-use em.
P.S. Who does your wardrobe? I have mirrored wall to wall but nothing innit!! Keep scaring myself though every time I get up off the straw!! PP

PP the grey bits are individually highlighted, I find it adds character. Well thats what I tell everyone anyway. ABs a poorly chick at mo, can never keep on her feet, she takes every opportunity to body surf and look where its got her now. At least she cant feel it with all the smarties shes taking.

Happy New Year butty, pony hug wildo. Don't want to alarm you Rourks but the grey bits started on me a couple of years ago, look where I am now!!
Looking forward to Pen-y-fan n using my pony sticks - have a gud un. Keep bizzy Queen AliB tethered so she don't overdo it - PP
