Ooh, you all look as if you had fun. I really hope to meet some of you all some day.

Thanks for the link Elegran. I have actually gone for the red squirrel.. Sorry, I know your link and reason for beavers but GD1 adores red squirrels.
We took both GD's to Nairn during the summer where we saw some in the wild and I explained to her they were becoming quite rare so I know this would make a great Christmas present for her.

I rather think this one has been photoshopped.

If you are stuck for a Christmas present for someone, you can adopt a beaver for £18. No, you don't get to take it home.

Doesn't seem to. It is a different format. Will look for a still photo and repost.

Elegran Tue 03-Dec-13 22:32:38

Don't know if this video will work. It is called Frank having a groom.

Lovely photos

Hi Gemini - yes probably a good idea - we will withdraw that - do feel free to PM if you haven't had the pics

Elegran Tue 03-Dec-13 17:14:24

GeminiJen not a good move to post that - get HQ to delete it (they will ) and instead ask people to PM you to get where to send it to. Of course, you may have ot by now, so you won't need to repost.

Just had a reply to the thank-you I sent to the "beaver lady"

"Thank you so much for inviting me (well, Roisin, but me by proxy!) I really enjoyed the talk and all the questions from the lovely ladies, they all did seem genuinely interested and enthusiastic, and I hope enjoyed the talk as much as I did. Also thank you so much for the very generous donation of £45.20 which has now gone into our beaver donations tin, it is very much appreciated.

I hope some of them manage a trip up to beautiful Argyll at some point in the future, and if they would like to come down to the beaver site, please tell them to get in touch, I’d be happy to give them a personal guided tour.

Thanks again.

Galen Tue 03-Dec-13 10:24:09

We thought for one hopeful moment when we arrived that they were winesmile but found otherwise sad

I thought I had better tell you all that I had my trousers on backside forewards all day yesterday didnt notice until I got home and stripped off for the shower.

No wonder I was meeting myself coming backwards all day grin

glassortwo Mon 02-Dec-13 10:44:06

absent we were all very well behaved, a little heated for a time, you would have enjoyed the independance debate, but we were sober and well behaved, even us residents were very restrained on Saturday night.

Oldgreymare Mon 02-Dec-13 10:24:52

Thanks Galen lovely pics, as ever!
envy but I did manage a winner in the last race tell Tegan, my blasted computer won't let me SEND PMs, but it will let me reply.... Mad!

Marelli Mon 02-Dec-13 09:45:32
