have no idea, some sort of toy for the grand kids I guess

Wow! That's different, lol. Aren't they fabulous?

Certainly is different. Where does uncle live ?

They look perfectly at home lol.

blimey.... where the heck does he live, I thought we had problems with wildlife, or are they tame?

Gives whole new meaning to 'a moose loose about the hoose' lol

What a great pic, I think it needs scrapping with that last post as a title.

Ah - that makes sense Ruth.

Kim - hope you used your best Scottish accent for the song

of course i did steph , same as when i used to read thomas the tank engine stories to the lads when little , i always read them in a liverpool accent ,just like ringo starrs

The blue things are apparently the markers for the leech tank and the septic tank because they aren't connected to the mains, the pretty things in them were reflectors to mark out the driveway in the snow but my aunty kept running them over so he decided to stick them in the blue things just in case he needs access to either of the tanks in the snow

leech tank????? this is fascinating!

ooh im glad i live in england .....sceptic tanks, leech tanks ,is this the blood sucking leeches we are talking about , 6 ft high snow !!!!

No idea Maria, it's either leech or leach as in leaching water from the soil or something, will ask mum. It's odd what is normal for them, black bears crossing the road in front of them, up trees nearby, river at the back of the house packed with salmon. Moose here, there and everywhere although moose have a habit of coming to the houses when they are dying and apparently the pong outside makes my pongy dead mouse this morning seem quite fragrant!

They don't have thunderstorms either, they get earthquakes instead which is why my aunt has become conditioned to panic when she is olver here and there's a thunderstorm as they sound similar!
