Calling them the blunts is the mildest form of disrespect with the Pigs and/or Grunters being the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonowl Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Yep, my bad. I somehow read that as Burnley v WHU in the last game but WHU are playing in the fixture above which is at BHA. Still can't see them getting a point though. Leeds problem is there GD which is as good as a point for Burnley if they were to finish level on points.

She had a decent hiking cane and correct footwear. It was a little cold that day. But I had the foresight to put a couple of 'wind-cheaters' in her ruck-sack. She seemed to enjoy the fishing. It was mid June but wet and cold. Think she thought that English summers were warm She caught a couple of nice ones.

I took my Brazilian gf to the U.K. for the first time in December and to make up for that mistake took her again in the summer ………. she said “ England winter and summer is the same ! “ ……… couldn’t really argue with that ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Everton seem favourite to avoid relegation now with a game in hand and Watford on Wed evening on the back of this surprise win.

Hiked around Hound Tor and Great Tor. Visited Jay's Grave. About 20 miles all told. Started raining at two in the afternoon. Went to Fenworth Resoviour and I bought her a hot dog. The Mrs wanted an ice cream; but they were so expensive. So I turned her off that by saying she would catch a chill.. Hound Tor. Fenworth Ressie. Jay's Grave. So it was a 10 day fishing holiday with trips out to interesting places. We also went looking for the Beast of Bodmin Moor. Didn't spot it, but enjoyed the fantastic countryside that Bodmin and Exmoor have to offer.. Mrs Owl couldn't get over how clear of rubbish it was. I left my work in early May and we returned to Thailand on the last week of June. Spent time visiting Huntingdonshire, London, Norfolk, and of course my favourite place in the whole world; Essex. River Ouse. Big Bill; or was it Ben? Tring. Edited May 9, 2022 by owl sees all 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Some great photos Owl , apologies for my earlier attempts at humour. When I read you took her fishing in England I thought you were joking and when you added hiking I was convinced you were !! In my defence we have got to know Mrs Owl through your descriptions on this thread and it paints a different picture. Glad to see her happy and enjoying life, albeit some years ago, post more U.K. photos if you have them . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Bloody hell. I thought thi'd been to Yorkshire when talkin' about River Ouse. Seems tha left out word Great.

Without being too soppy; I reckon Mrs HP is lucky to have you bud. Mrs Owl was in England for six months. I was working for the first 4 months or so. The pics appear to tell a story of a carefree life experience. Always been a bit of a 'snapper'. For past work and interest. Unfortunately I lost thousands - both hard pics and stored images - when my wife passed away in 2006. Many of West Africa, Jamaica and Cuba, as well as England. But life goes on. Have many great pics if anyone would like to see them posted (noted Andy D). Mostly of west of England, but also Spain, East Anglia and London. I had a top-notch camera then, so the images are pretty good. All stored away on memory sticks. Edited May 9, 2022 by owl sees all 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post owl sees all Posted May 10, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) A few more West Country pics. Mrs Owl's biggest of the trip. About 11/12 lbs. Colourful carp from another pond. Ponies and horses everywhere around Dartmoor. And cattle. Not forgetting the sheep. Heathercombe School; on the edge of Dartmoor. I was sent there for 4/5 months in 1956. Got in big trouble for staying out all night, to see who was putting fresh flowers on Jay's Grave. Never found out. Beautiful Exmoor. Me; looking on with envy as the fisherman takes his chances in the surf. Braving the elements for a couple of flatties. Enjoy!

We had already done a bit of fishing before the holiday in Harlow. Catching little tench and crucians, so she knew the score. But on that theme. Mrs Owl was amazed at how many rabbits there were seemingly everywhere. When we went to Norfolk they were even on the grassy roundabouts. In Wisbeach they were protected. The town was home to my wife before's brother and his family. Mrs Owl and my niece Zee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a tickle on both The Owls and Derby getting promoted next season. Get about 7/8 to 1 at the start of next season. Nice win double. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
