I'm a slow typer, Jazzy!

Thank you, Jazzgirl, I have bookmarked the link and will watch it later this night.

Thank you, Malone!
I did think "American" would have something to do with it, but could not twig what it was!

Hello, Elle!
I did a few miles this morning to the cemetery!
Seems to be starting better, though.
I suggested cleaning the earth straps but I do not know if that was done or not.
I did not know the variant spellings of the word, but it makes sense.
I assumed in my ignorance "American" was a superfluous word.
I have bookmarked the link.
Is there a waterfall in it?

Hello Malone :)

Hello back, jazzgirl.

Hi, Rusty!
I wandered off to watch "Eggheads"!
Yes, there are some fantastic waterfalls in the programme!
You might need a handy bullock's hide.......
Or failing that, maybe your old leather jacket?
I do admire Griff Rhys Jones in this series that he is doing.
It cannot be easy........there is a lot of physical strength and endurance required.
I hope the links work!
You ended up with two!
I am a slow typer, and Jazzgirl's contribution wasn't on screen when I started to answer you!
I have had a very interesting newsletter from the Scottish Wildlife Trust, telling me that (quote ).......
"On Saturday 25 March Roy Dennis, the UK’s foremost authority on osprey conservation, will give an illustrated talk outlining the latest research into these incredible birds at Loch of the Lowes Visitor Centre near Dunkeld".
It says that one will be able to view ospreys from the Centre's hides.
So they must be expecting Lassie and Laddie to be back by then?
Is this anyway near you, because it sounds very interesting?
Maybe you could go?

The series was first shown 2009 so these are all repeats, but still worth watching again. Cadbury the labrador has more fans than Griff ! I think he still has Cadbury

Hello, Jazzgirl,
I watched the programme.
Was very good.
I know most of the area, and I have read the story of Lettice Ward and her big salmon.
(Most of the huge salmon have been caught by women!)
And I was pleased to hear them say the weather was "dreich" in Glenlyon!

Hello, Elle,
Yes, Griff was game all right!
These wild swimmers are mad!
There was a teeny glimpse of Dundee at the end!
Last year Lassie flew in on the 18th of March, and Laddie a few days later, so there may be ospreys to see on the 25th.
It is good to think that they are on their way from Africa!
No, I am content to see the birds online, unless I was up that way.
Dunkeld is a nice wee place to visit. It is right on the Tay next to Birnam Woods which Shakespeare mentioned.

I felt sure you would enjoy it, rusty .
I remember the woods in Macbeth. I acted 2nd witch when we did the play at college (I was chosen due to my best rendition of a cackle )

Hello, Jazzgirl.
I would not have thought you a cackler!
But, it was a very good programme.
I have never used iplayer before!

rusty, even my own father did not recognize me on stage..... my own laugh is more of a giggle and far more refined ;)
