| The Bastards ( right) facing off the field geese |
" Preloved" is a website that allows you to advertise livestock for sale. Although I am wary of attracting unsuitable animal owners for animals I need to rehome, I have found the site useful as long as any prospective owners are vetted properly.
Yesterday I advertised " The Bastards" on preloved, and this morning the phone has been tinkling away with people interested in buying them.
One energetic sounding woman called and said she was passing through the village this morning . she asked if she could come and view the geese with a view of perhaps picking them up later today if they were suitable.
The woman proved to be a new smallholder from the village of Llansannan. She had a big booming voice, the forearms of a docker, a ready smile and incredibly muddy boots. She also told me her of her rather checkered life story with her policewoman girlfriend of two years within just five minutes of our meeting.
She was hugely entertaining as people who share their life stories on your first meeting always are.
I found out later that her name was Bunty
Bunty was so loud, even Winifred, who can face off any newcomer, had to hide on the staircase until she had left

| Oh daddy..take the shouty lady away |
The woman had limited experience of looking after geese, but had obviously researched the subject well, so I was happy to let her see the bastards to see if she liked them. Luckily for me, she did, but I was sure I informed her that they were a bit of a handful.
" so am I " she answered with a smile....." Oh......So am I "
And I believed her
She looked like she could hold her own in a pub fight
