I took a wrong turning on a farm a few months back and found myself in a yard with about 800 hungry free range turkeys who all turned to stare at me.... Quite a funny feeling I'll tell you!

Every so often I have to go to meetings at a place that has a selection of goosey types wandering the grounds, one paticular one has a habit of coming out of the undergrowth at you, all hissy and beaky, one of these days it's going to get a hard bound A3 sketch book between the eyes if it catches me a peck like it did last time.

Suddenly remembered an urgent 'phone call I had to make. By the time I'd finished, it had flown off. All honour satisfied.
