All is peaceful on the Western Front, DDS is tucked up in bed and BM is bored! I thought I would share some more pictures from my window
BM's beautiful daughter Beth, a future pilot in the RAF, on a lovely day in the Lakes


BM's American Miniture Horses... DDS don't get too excited! Can you see BM's Landrover and her BM in the background!! Oh la la!

BM's Rylands (rare breed) sheep on a chilly day in the Lakes

I'll trade ya! Take my place in JBR, and me and the Mrs. will go frolick in the snow. I need some cold and the boss would like some 1-on-1 with the animals. We'll rent a car though, seems yours don't work so well. Not too keen on DDS being there, he can stay in the barn with the other exotics.

it's a deal! You can take the Landrover, it works fine. It's blue.

Damn and I was going to call dibbs on the Landy !

Eh?

Do you think it's wise to [ut photos of your child up on an open forum? It's not Face Book you know.

BM are those horses and sheep on your land ? Or are they like pets you have?

Grasping at straws with regards to what exactly? It;s a valid point!

I fail to see why the subject matter of every post has to be related to Dubai or the UAE? the Forum is for the benefit of the Dubai English speaking community and I can find no reference anywhere that specifies what you are constantly complaining about!

It also has to be noted that while the majority of posts are not Dubai or UAE related, your constant moaning is invariably aimed at one particular individual, why is that?

Have the voting rounds started for the 2010/11 Miss Dubai Forums started again without them being announced?

nice pics and the sheep are so cuutteee!

The horses look like unicorns!

No, you're right Chocs, it's nothing to do with Dubai, but it's the festive season and people think of home. England is so pretty at the moment and I thought I'd share with those who hanker after some chilly days. I can't see the harm really. Don't worry about Beth, I picked a shot where you can't really see her just that big sun behind her.


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you

Have a nice day Chocs.

The horses are pets Zubber, I have 6 miniture ones, and a full sized one for Beth to ride. The sheep started as pets, I rescued one from the Foot and Mouth episode in 2001 and I now have over 30, such are the breeding habits of sheep.

Those miniature horses look really friendly, and you take care of all of your pets by yourself ?

They just roam about Zubber, no bother. I have to watch the horses, they like to try to get in the house, it wouldn't be the first time I've caught one watching the TV, it ruins me shag pile!

, In the image with your daughter , You own all of that land ?

Geez, BM don't tell me that is one of the horses that Beth fell off??

Yes Zubber, BM has her own plot Am I lookin more attractive? LOL

England so small, i bet land must be really pricey there hmm

That maybe so, but I still don't think it's appropriate to be putting photos of your kids up here. You're not much more than a troll Dillion - so you know - whatever.

Does bring back memories of where we used to life though with 7 acres of land with sheep, horse etc etc. Don't miss the cold to be honest though or the problems that it causes on a small holding or farm.

Gasp BM ur pets are adorable. And what were ur sheep up too? Was the one on the left giving the one on the right a lil peck?

5 acres in the tropics solves the problem with the cold.
I miss the freedom of riding off into the bush all day. BM said she backs onto a National Park which is ideal.
In Dubai I have to pay $$$ to ride someone else's permanently stabled 'trophy' horse for an hour in the desert, which isn't half as fun.
I also have to wear a big number 3 on my shirt if I want to look the part back at the club.

Chocs, you cannot even see who it is. For a million bucks I could not even guess an age. I think you need to relax a bit.

LOL oh dear. Yeah i hear you on that one. We used to just hop on bareback and roam the land.

Morning Zubber

@Chocs, Please don't call my friends Trolls on my festive topic. If you want to do that please do it elsewhere.

@MCL My sheep are very friendly, MCL, as we all are 'up North'

@benwj, my plot is right in the National Park, benwj, runs down to a river which flows from Lake Ullswater. it is beautiful round here. But I do miss Dubai

Is that 'friend' or 'lackie' BM?

I bet your sheep go well with a bit of apple or mint sauce!

I see you have got out of the bed the wrong side again Chocs. No, I don't have lackies, only friends.
