Scruffy Buggers & MND Fundraiser

The Bald Buggers

So another 11 waifs have arrived on the field.

The elderly lady who was so sad on the phone early this morning, turned out to be a delightful character when I met her in person.Her husband had suffered a minor stroke a few weeks ago and no longer could look after his small flock easily, so both were exceedingly grateful that I finally agreed that I could take all but one cockerel off their hands.

The cockerel was a monster of an animal who had effectively scalped all of his hens through persistant mating, so I am sure that all eleven hens will be delighted at having the opportunity to relax a little and give their "tuppences" a little bit of a rest!

Llanasa's Red Lion

Now I have "cut and pasted" the folowing from my sister's blog...a bit more publicity for Motor Neurone Disease fundrasing.........locals please note

"My brother in law Chris MacDonald- Parry has very kindly organized a music quiz night for this coming Monday the 31st of October at his local pub The Red Lion in Llanasa -the proceeds of which will be going to the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
Please come and support us if you can -it should be a lot of fun ! There will be a raffle with the chance to win a free meal for two , the quiz starts at 8.30 pm. I`am making sure " Team M.N.D " are all of various ages so hopefully we will have a wide spread of musical knowledge. Chris organizes a quiz once a month with the proceeds raised donated to various charities.
And for anyone who is interested in a bit of history.........

The pub dates back to the 1700`s- previously it was a farm called Ty Newydd [ which translated means - New House ] it is situated in the centre of a typical picturesque country village- opposite the pub is a beautiful large Georgian style manor house in which my hubby and his family grew up in-Ned`s grand father bought the house for four hundred gold sovereigns ! Where he got the money from nobody knows and it still remains a family mystery today-Many of the pieces of furniture in the house had come down from Captain Edward Morgan who was a welsh man and an officer in the Royalist Army during the civil war in the 1650`s, he played a significant part together with 3 thousand Welshmen in the defense of Chester against the Parlimentarian forces- he was also a relation to the famous Captain Henry Morgan - buccaneer who operated in the seas around Jamaica" .
