Where are the stables Catgate?. :D

Gypsy's don't put horses in stables. :D

We had a family of them (Ma, Pa and 2 girls) living on the grass verge about half a mile away from us (in 2 old vardos .....hooped living cart) for about three months earlier in the year. They were no trouble, but their horses were. They had about 20, and they were always tethered in a manner as shown. So that they could eat right to the edge of the wide grass verges. This meant that they could stand in the road. The police kept calling and getting them moved, but did it make any difference????

Answers on the back of a signed blank cheque to the usual address.

I live in a tiny village just outside of click here.

Wiki entry click here.

Although Haslemere is in Surrey, the village where I live is in Sussex and just down the road is Hampshire at the confluence of two streams which start the river Wey. Here you can stand with one foot in Surrey, one foot in Sussex and pee into Hampshire - well, men can. You can, of course change direction and stand in any combination of two of the counties you wish to.

We get visiting markets at the topend ,the best ones are the French farmers who come over in convoys of rented vans ...a tad expensive ,but good stuff , English farmers ones are fairly good too ,but twenty different kinds of spud doesn't really do it for me ...

This week is Staffordshire pottery ......locals were'nt too impressed judging by the sales
