Quite magical. <br /><br />"...La!..." <br /><br />As for Ada's narrative (thank you so much for that!), I am sure I can find a place for her in the nearby picturesque village of Sint Vaalben, close to the town of Laarden, for her to settle down. She's a home-maker, so I have a feeling nuptials and motherhood will not be far away. <br /><br />Although, I do also remember thinking that Sint Vaalben was the perfect village to quarter the Croatian light horse, so additional geese sentries might indeed be required ;)Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380748343241636073.post-68452037745585323712018-02-20T06:13:14.754-06:002018-02-20T06:13:14.754-06:00Thanks so much, Michael!Thanks so much, Michael!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380748343241636073.post-40709591087336065702018-02-20T06:13:03.558-06:002018-02-20T06:13:03.558-06:00Thanks Byron!Thanks Byron!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380748343241636073.post-85373549548886200262018-02-20T06:12:53.171-06:002018-02-20T06:12:53.171-06:00Thanks Peter!!

And of course, with geese as guard animals, Ada and her family will be safe from the plottings of Laardens’ more grasping classes. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683357190562705676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380748343241636073.post-21479604973128954082018-02-19T11:02:07.582-06:002018-02-19T11:02:07.582-06:00Another joyful entry, gorgeous work Sir.

Walking to a little café passing a yard with some geese, and I commented that they would make a good dinner. They must have understood me as they all stood upright and started hissing and flapping at me! Good thing there was a fence in the way. When we walked back past later, as soon as they heard my voice they tried to attack again. ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.com
