August

Kathy Ricketts -

“Who-o-ah! I'm playing Hide and Seek. What's your game?”

Emma Baker -

“Aaaaggghhh! Is that a new hair style, Beckham?”
 

September

Kathy Ricketts is becoming a regular contributor to this item and we now look forward to her caption. This one is
another hit.

“I wonder what will happen if I press that big, black button......”

Heidi Lewis from Talgarth is making her debut on this page with “It’s all right. Chicken Licken says the sky is not falling
in after all!”

Jill Reece has contributed two captions this month. Her first was, “I wonder who will blink first?” Jill then said she preferred her second idea, “If I ignore it, will it go away?” but I liked them both.

Val Cleaver has also contributed again, with “The Little and Large show”

 

October

We thought there would be lots of caption entries for
this picture but they have been very slow to come
in. The first and best was from Lucie Williams of
Talgarth. Lucie is 11 years old and offered, “Hush,
hush, whisper who dares! Christopher Robin (and
pal) are saying their prayers!”



Another suggestion was, “Please God, let him sleep
on the floor tonight so I can sleep on the bed!”

Val Cleaver sent in "....and make Sandy a good dog"

 

November

We had just two captions this month. The first came from Hilda Richards, ‘I think I’ve bitten off more than I can chew!’

And just at the last minute we had one from Kathy Ricketts, ‘Hush! You talk too much’

From Paul Baker (Heather's Son) - "I believe I can fly"

From Marie Ward, Three Cocks, missed January's magazine print - "Mum says if you don't close your mouth you'll catch flies"
 

We had lots of captions for this picture. The first was from my son, Paul who sent in three captions -
“Wake up! It’s a beautiful morning!”
“How much did I drink last night?”
and, ‘These ASBO’s don’t keep them out of trouble!’

Kathy Ricketts is back on the scene with “Hey, wake up! Look what Father Christmas has left me.”

Two people sent in, “Wakey wakey!” They were Val Cleveland andMarie Ward of Three Cocks who also sent in another two, “Let him sleep it off, Dear. We’ll be late for the January sales.” and, “Shouldn’t you be practising ‘Silent Night’, not the 1812 Overture?”

Pat Darlison sent, “Ugh! Performing in 'Happy Feet' has gone to their heads.”

Finally, another new contributor, my father, Jim Dunbar, sent in an excellent one, “ Remember! You cannot fly and he can run faster than you”

 

February 2007

The first caption in this month came from a new contributor, Megan Lloyd with a new slant on the book by Nicholas Evans ‘The horse whisperer!’

Clive Ricketts has now joined Kathy in contributing. Theirs is almost a double act!
From Clive: Boy: “My mom says I have NOT got nits”
From Kathy: Horse: “Keep looking, Sonny. I’m sure I dropped my sugar lump somewhere around here.”

Marie Ward has sent us two this month- ‘Who did you say was going to win the Grand National?’ and ‘Listen `ere!’

 

March 2007

Sorry again for the delay in updating!!

Val Cleaver from Llowes - "I hope the pilot can see the picture better than I can" - sorry for the poor reproduction of the picture in last month's magazine. ...and "Constable, there's a plane in my picture"!

Jim Dunbar - "The Hayplane"

Paul Baker (Glasbury) "Eh up Dobin, low flying from Stanstead has got a bit out of hand"

Helen Wilde from Surrey, ""The Haywain appeared to have been overlooked during the Airport consultation process"!

April 2007

Only one this month - from Mrs F M Pugh of Clyro - "Is this what they mean by Duckdown"?

May 2007

I was taken by the ‘misleading’ note on an e-mail which warned of a ‘gory’ picture attached. The text was this and the picture the one below!

See the remarkable photograph below, courtesy of Nature Magazine.

The crocodile, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, often considered the "apex predator", can still fall victim to implemented 'team-work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack" mentality bred into the canines.



Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle-hold on the croc' preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing about. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the croc'.

No captions this month 

This was from Jim Dunbar:

‘Never again will I drink from a glass!!’

We had lots from Cheryl Christopher and Dave Newell.

Here they are:

"I told you to lay off that Calpol!"

"It would be a shame for such a sweetie to get left on the shelf ... "

"Time for bed said Zebedee"

"Come on son, you should be able to touch your toes at your age!"

........and a late entry from Rob Falconer from nowhere near Glasbury

"Putting up something from IKEA is sooooo tiring"

 or

"I'm getting old.  I don't want to be left on the shelf"

Clive Ricketts sent in, ‘Steady lads. You know we agreed to him a 20 yard start!’

And Kathy Ricketts is back this month with, ‘And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have Fluffy modelling her own favourite catsuit!’

Rob Falconer found our competition on the website. He sent, ‘Hey, that take-away delivery service was quick!’

A late entry came from Andy’s church in Bristol. Neil Hopkins sent in, ‘The young people assess their new youth worker!’

Email your caption or drop it into any church or The Vicarage

Well, we didn’t get any captions for this picture. We did have an additional caption for the cat at the computer from Rob Falconer who offered, ‘Now, let's see if I can arrange for the newest captions to be at the top of the page!’ He certainly managed it this month but not for this picture. Looking at it again I am reminded of Harry Potter peering into Professor Dumbledore’s penseive in just this way. This is a bowl in which Dumbledore puts his memories and thoughts to be accessed at leisure when he has a lot on his mind. I often wish I had a penseive. I love J K Rowling’s play on this word as the operation of putting his thoughts into the bowl enables Dumbledore to sort them out too.

I wonder if the little girl has been listening to these stories!!!!

Anyway, here it is for another month to give you all a second chance now the holidays are over.

The last one
