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...... -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

".......Pigeons are a nuisance but they - or rather the coloured descendants of rock doves - are very beautiful too, as are wood pigeons, And they all eat well ......." 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 :-) -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks for email address |

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.
