There was a meeting of the Gwaenysgor and Trelawnyd Community Council last night.
During a hiatus in the proceedings I caught the eye of The Red Faced Welsh Farmer (RFWF) who was chuckling to himself over something or other.
Starting off in a stage whisper he quipped "I saw your sheep the other day!...... lovely ..!"
then added in a deep booming voice reminiscent of Sid James at his very best
"DO YOU WANT A RAM?"
When they were perusing through some building applications the other members of the council only caught his last sentence, which caused a few quizzical expressions I can tell you,
Such is the excitement of a rural community council meeting.
For those who have never met the RFWF, I perhaps need to clarify that he is partially deaf so has a tendency to BOOM within normal conversations.
It is a habit that can make even the stout hearted jump somewhat when he catches you unawares....
but I do find this habit somewhat endearing , especially when you can watch the often started reaction he has on the more nervous members of the community.
As my mother used to say
"he has a voice that could cut bread!"
Anyhow I am sure that a ram will indeed be forthcoming
When the RFWF had a mind to do something
It will be done |

That ram in the pic looks like an old sage - imperturbably wise. Perhaps it knows something we don't.
ReplyDelete(I had to laugh at your comment your Sid James reference!)
Ah, so you said YES then ... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can only see mayhem ahead! xxx
ReplyDeleteYour Town Council meetings sound so much more colorful than ours.
ReplyDeletethey're NOT!
Deletemight we expect babies ?
ReplyDeleteIts's nice for girls to have boys around.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know vera!
DeleteYou may want one, but do you need one? This is a question I am constantly asking myself these days.
ReplyDeleteLamb chops need a daddy
DeleteMy mum is also a bit deaf, but fortunately she doesn't speak in a booming voice. She does however turn the TV up to a shattering volume that practically destroys my eardrums.
ReplyDelete"Do you want a ram?" could be a good direct chat up line - rather than "Fancy going out for a drink some time?" or "You have lovely eyes". Perhaps it should have been the caption with your second picture!
ReplyDeleteMore babies !!!
ReplyDeleteAh, so very much like the RAM, RFWF has the sheepish of folks around him a bit nervous. My mother is losing her hearing, so oftentimes it is everyone else who winds up booming in their conversations with her, usually about the third or fourth time they've had to repeat their answer...
ReplyDeleteAnd then there will be mutton in the freezer. Couldn't you just let the girls be happy?
ReplyDeleteI believe lambs are born in the pelting cold rain in the middle of the night on a barren hill, in March. You may want to think about this.
ReplyDeleteThat is one handsome ram! Soay sheep are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the lambing season...RFWF sounds just the right person to have at a dull council meeting
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, yes, YES!
ReplyDeleteJoanne's got a point. I do hope Sylvia and Irene are growing more accustomed to you.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? International sheep day?! 'Great minds think alike..... and fools seldom differ'! I know......
ReplyDeleteFancy hat for a farmer! Yes John, they don't mince their words these farmers - sex is never far from their minds.
ReplyDeleteVery Frankie Howerd!
ReplyDeleteIndeed I can see more stories arising from this meeting.....
ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
I lover this, just like an episode of the vicor of dibley :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, it sounds to me like the RFWF was propositioning your sheep on behalf of his ram.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing that came to mind at seeing title - when does he arrive? Or do you need to take the girls there at the appropriate time? Such a lovely thought - lambs!
ReplyDelete........and did you reply? 'not at this precise moment.'!!!
ReplyDeleteI did indeed!
DeleteWill this be a Soay ram? Can't wait to see you after your first lambing season!!! Nothing cuter in this whole world than a lamb bouncing and leaping for joy. IMHO
ReplyDeleteKelly... it will be! I have said I dont ant anything but a soay!
DeleteAh, yes, we have some around here that are much like that. However, with my somewhat high voice, they punctuate sentences with "what?" quite often.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well with the ram. Sheep of any kind are still on the "hmmm" list, as I haven't decided how to cougar proof it. (Yes, we have more cougars around here...)
Cat
I hope he is a placid ram! Narky ones are not fun to handle!
