In conversation to avoid her embarressment the lady mentioned she had bought duck eggs from a man in fife who had a hoteland had goats!!!
Ringing any bells!!
So I said, James Lindsay!! "yes" was the reply, "Do you know him?".
Well in a kinda roundabout fashion I do!!!

Veryvery small world, I thought.

She bred two of his Cocker Spaniels - then I spotted him on here and recognised his dogs. Have been to the Hotel - can thoroughly recommend the food as well as the entertainment - a jaunt through the park with the animals.

Same fishing friend, by coincidence, gets our equine dentist neighbour up to do his horses teeth, not realising where she lived !

It IS a small world - is there not a theory that everyone in the world can be linked to another in 6 steps ? Sure I remember something about that ???

I went into the tack shop at the livery yard where I keep my horse. I was chatting to the owner and menioned that we kept pigs. "Oh", she said, "my sister's brother-in-law's wife (keep up now) keeps pigs down by Tarbert. She has Tamworths and Kune Kune". "Oh," I replied, 'Her name's not Lee, is it?" "How did you know?" Carrie said. "Ah, TAS", I replied.

See, small world.

I was visiting my cousin Morag in Dunblane; over a cuppa her partner Vince said 'how's the ducks and chickens' Fine I said, did you know I've joined a local forum and a smallholders association. 'Oh he says, you might meet up with my niece some time then' - guess who? Lu & Bobby! TAS and CSSA links the World!
