Default water fountains

The message
from "Brian Watson" contains these words:

Wanna know how to do it quietly and humanely? When I was an anklebiter,
one of my favourite friends was a Romany my own age. He taught me quite
a lot about food-gathering.


Romany chal?


Just think, he'd now be hounded out of town as, at best, a thief and a fly
tipper or, at worst, a probable illegal immigrant (too).


If he's living now in the same manner (but updated) as he did, he will
be somewhere in Lincolnshire in a spotless caravan and working on the
land.

His mother was a Gypsy Queen, and they lived in a horse-drawn caravan
which sparkled inside. They used to go where there were peas to pick,
onions to lift, spuds to gather, etc. and at different times they would
be hoeing, hopping, fruit-picking. I must confess that at the time I
envied them the life.

:-/


Funny old world.


I'd like to meet up with him again......

I think my neighbour would associate the sound of a shotgun about 100 yds
away with the dwindling numbers of his birds.
I have thought of it many times as I love Pigeon pie.



Box, stick, string, bread = pigeon pie :-)

Hello
My name is josé margarido.
I'm portuguese.
I make water fountains
All hand made
All in stone

My site: www.fontesdecorativas.com

Hope you like it!

They look lovely Jose but two suggestions:
Make some English pages for your site and give the

shipping prices!
Jenny


Such use of water, I suggest, is environmentally

unfriendly.

What makes you say that?

Franz


Stupidity?
