ssshhh Ann, be kind to BC, she probably cannot remember what clogs are...or even what mice are.

*catches up with the young uns.....ahhhh yes the mouse...the clogs...got it!!!

whats worse, I have this vision of it being sang drunkingly in Welsh and them doing the Welsh clog dance to accompany it.

Keep up BC.... Clogs.... mouse....... mouse in windmill.

*nods head wisely....yesssss Lesley I can see the connection all right...*rolls eyes......lolol....

Lesley, good lateral thinking there. Took me a while to work out the connection but it was the mouse with clogs on wasn't it?

Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

aaahhh, all I can hear in my head now is The windmill in old Amsterdam song (I saw a mouse)


AAAAAHHHHH


A Windmill In Old Amsterdam

A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Chorus:
I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

This mouse he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it's hardly surprisin'
She sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Chorus

First they had triplets and then they had quins
A windmill with quins in, and triplets and twins in
They sang every morning, "How lucky we are
Living in a windmill in Amsterdam, ya!"

Chorus

The daughters got married and so did the sons
The windmill had christ'nin's when no one was list'nin'
They all sang in chorus, "How lucky we am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Chorus

A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice
There's nobody there now but a whole lot of mice.

Navigate Gwyn, you must be joking. I think you should be OK, they should stay this side of England!!, it is a long way to float round to your side and by the time they do somebody will have pinched all the wood. (Well they would have if it was heading down south!)

I suppose it could sound like three clogs then really?

We've got enough trouble in The Channel with ship wrecked timber, so I hope they're not blown this way.

*thinks...Can they navigate without getting lost?*

Gwyn

Well I heard that SueM is a dab hand at Welsh Clog Dancing with one foot while balancing delicately on her crutch...yes indeedy.....

Hmm, probably around Taunton unless it is a strong wind blowing them North then they might make Scotland or N Ireland.

Hang on SueM and welsh clog dancing, as my Grandson would say..... I don't THINK so!

Which way is the tide flowing?
Will they make landfall in Cornwall or go upstream to Gloucester area?


Gwyn

Noooo!! Not the Welsh clogs!

It's chilly here too Caz, It's a beautiful part of the world where you live.

.....it may turn wild however if that lot turn up. Don't offer them alcohol and don't feed them after midnight.

...or even Welsh Clog Dancing!!! Hi Caz:-))

I wouldn't put it past them......barricade your door Caz!! Protect yourself. If they get in, there may be.........singing.

Hi Lesley, Im in the ver ycold west, just above you! not spotted them Ann!!
