And what a good idea, I think I will add winter coat with proper zip to my Xmas list.<br /><br />Hi Val, You know it did occur to me as I watched the geese, was my coat stuffed with goose feathers, but I shook off the thought. Something’s are better left unknown!<br /><br />Hi Mise, A winter of undistracted geese watching...oh the bliss.<br /><br />Hi Liza, Yes it is the knowledge that the cold we are experiencing now is only a prelude to what is to come.

Seems to me the geese are getting out of town not wanting to be associated with someone who will ruin their reputation by using their feathers in association with a coat that has a badly made nylon zip!The leading goose is saying"come on guys Paris Haute Couteur here we come".Happy days AnnVal Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089310997738858028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-82341200979851423372010-11-05T05:52:55.604-05:002010-11-05T05:52:55.604-05:00Awwwww!!

Sometimes I think God was having a laugh when he gave us naked skin and endowed all the other creatures with fur and feathers and natural coating to keep them warm!
