    You should have sneaked Kevin into Heligan, smallswan. He would have loved it there.

    Heligan is my favourite garden. As you say, even if you are not really into gardening  there,s lots to interest most people. I love the glimpses into way the garden was run when they had teams of gardeners in the big houses.

    Smallswan - a well cared for peacock can live up to 40 years in captivity.....but they are edible!! Kevin ought to go on holiday to Brownsea Island, I'm sure nobody would notice an extra one!

    Not been to Heligan but its on my list!

    Well I never a pet peacock.

    I have not complained about the plugs, I am waiting to complain if they come when I am away, as they said May.

    I have never been to Heliganimage

    I would have called the peacock Captain or Professor

    Plugs- as in may come sometime in the future?

    Is the bird in UP called Kevin?

  • smallswansmallswan Posts: 86

    I am not sure he likes being called Kevin: he'd prefer 'Admiral' or 'Emperor', but we thought that might be a bit posey.  His wives were called Sharon and Tracey - they had 22 peachicks between them, and the fox got the lot ...

    Kate you are right about Kevin in UP-have 100 brownie points-would not have thought that as someone who has not seen Toy Story would know that.

    Does anybody have any good-fox stories?

    Can I trade my brownie points for brownies?

    Foxes are not friends of the bird loversimage Did George Clooney not do the voice of a fox?

    No-one answered what good flies do-or wasps-just want to know what good urban foxes do if any?--everything has a purpose-even little ole me.

    Ask Lottie about brownies and all things Baden-Powell related.

    Cannot see GC in cast list- this could mean a reduction in points

    I have been watching news again -need to rantimage
