I have been attacked! ........ by a chicken


Horror! Horror most fowl!! I have been attacked. Attacked by a He Chicken. A cockerel. A nasty piece of work. Public enemy Number 1
One fresh blowy Sunday afternoon I visited a nearby Organic farm shop/working farm. I have always prided myself in being an eco -friendly human, bordering on could-be Eco Warrior but havent the time nor conviction. But I feel good in these places. Eco friendly, Organic, enviromentally friendly and all round good. What could be better? I feel I am doing my bit for Mankind. No idea what that is. So I wander round the organic shop, with only a pot of honey in my basket. Pay up then head for the farm yard. Lets see the friendly animals. Will it be like Animal Farm? Will the pigs take over? Imagine how it was, a Towny, excited by the mere sight of animals that are almost free. The yard was full. There were pigs, big and smelly... oink oink. There were goats...... baahhh bahhhh. There were ducks.... quack quack. There were cockerels.... cockadoodledoo cookadoodledoARRRRAAAAGHHHH!!!!!...... It came for me, claws at the ready, jumped up to my neck and dug its claws into me! I Screamed!!!!! and batted the bastard off me. Then I ran as fast as I could back to the safety of the car as it chased after me. All I could hear was the loud shrill cries of a Cockadoodledoo! Like a victory call. Bastard! Death to all cockerels and their cousins I say. I will be returning to that farm in the near future - with a shotgun! If I was him I would start running now.

The Arctic ....ashes to ashes

Travel log - Last month i went on an Arctic Expedition. An Expedition around the Archipeligo island of Svalbard. (Spitsbergen to me and you) http://www.ocnwide.com/ocn.htm Why go there ? i was asked many times over. Many thought i was a lunatic and very very few thought it was fantastic. In fact those few (strangers) thought i had made their day by mentioning this fact. Were they wanting shot of me?? they had only just met me... hmmm i wonder now.... The truth of it was i wanted to find inner peace, a calmness, a happiness from within. I wanted to go there and feel one with the landscape. I would go alone. so did i find it ? did i find my Utopia ? The answer - NO! and i have only myself to blame for this - for I did far too much talking, far too much laughing, far too much merry making.... But its gotta be said .. it was one of the most enjoyable times of mylife. The landscape was absolutely jaw dropping. The majestic glaciers were unbelievable. So unashamedly and unbelievably BEAUTIF...
