Hullabaloo in the Village
As I said last week, I am going to take a photograph of the gates opposite our drive each month...
so when I went to take September's view I noticed the visitors.
They are causing a hullabaloo in the village...why? because nobody knows where they are from!
They are domestic geese, not wild possibly the same breed as Jo.
A few weeks ago when out with Wilma I thought I heard a little honk through the hedge, but didn't give it any more thought.........but a few days later there, in full glory were these 6 white geese. I heard Jo honking away in our garden and they now regularly come to the gate in response. It all gets rather noisy! LOL!
I feed them a coule of times a day!
They were very hungry!
H is also for Hens Huddling!
Our neighbours are away so I am looking after their livestock and cats!
In a brief hour of sunshine the hens were cuddling up together!
There is a Hunt in the village, around November time.
I am not a fan.
Yes they always look nice, full stop!
BUT it is a countryside tradition...
moving on quickly...
Haygate Cottage
(Taken in January last year!)
haygate's front door!
Traditional, all that can be used on a listed building.
Always a Hay Bale!
One of Wilma's favourite walks.
The Hederow is always a source of natural beauty.
Here is Honeysuckle!
Always a wonderful smell in the air!
Handale Farm!
Always Horses Heads peeping over the Hedge!
George Skaife phoned me yesterday, he has been in hospital, we wish him well. I will be going to see him next week.
I wanted a poem to brighten his day, so here is one of my all time favourites by Charles Causley!
ENJOY!
I Saw A Jolly Hunter
I saw a jolly hunter
With a jolly gun
Walking in the country
In the jolly sun.
In the jolly meadow
Sat a jolly hare.
Saw the jolly hunter.
Took jolly care.
Hunter jolly eager-
Sight of jolly prey.
Forgot gun pointing
Wrong jolly way.
Jolly hunter jolly head
Over heels gone.
Jolly old safety catch
Not jolly on.
Bang went the jolly gun.
Hunter jolly dead.
Jolly hare got clean away.
Jolly good, I said.

you really are blessed with lots of h's around your home!! The shots of all the fowl are great. I love your walks...
Hi Denise,
Great photos and I love the poem!

What a wonderful village you live in, its all so interesting and appealing. The mystery of the domestic geese is a curiosity; perhaps they have wondered from afar. They do provide an great photo op though, don't they.

Ηi,hi your life is full of "h...es"!!!:)
crikey...l really struggled all week trying to blog for today on the H letter...yours is really good, well done you!
Hi Denise, I love the photos of the geese and other animals. You have done a lot of work and I like the poems you always write with the posts, I hope you will continue writing them.
Interesting and great H :-)
Hi Denise.... this is a great H posting and one that was very close to my heart... all your sightings had me longing for a country walk... but at the moment my health will not allow.. ha! maybe next week.
I've gone with Hay this week... any idea about the last picture?
Wow Denise you've gone and done it again with not just one but a Handful of great aitches......
ho what a hearty heap of helpful Herriotness
Fancy all those ladies visiting Jo! Love this post Denise - mine will be up around midnight.
A fun post...quite a line up of H's you've presented us with here.
Poor jolly hunter, but happy, happy hare!
Lovely photoes again from you. Love then all:)
What a heartening bunch of H words today! Geese a'honking, hens a'laying, heathrows, and hares escaping the jolly hunter! So much fun to come over and visit your village with you every week. I'm going to get to work on my post right now. Will add my name to Mr. Linky when done.
Jolly good verse at the end! What a gaggle of honkers you have this week, plus all the other wonderful "H"s. What does Wilma think of all the livestock?
Denise, I must say those were a lot of great H photos and a beautiful verse at the end. Great ABC Wednesday H posting, I enjoyed.
Love this lot walking where they won't to go when they won't. And the rest are good as well.
What a lot of wonderful H's!! And thank you for introducing me to ABC Wednesday, I have put up my own contribution!
Your village is lovely and so peaceful looking, thank you.
ah, another lovely view of your village..thank you! Glad you are looking after the geese...maybe their owners aren't back from their summer holiday eh?
Annie
I really need to visit Yorkshire again soon xx
Just popped back to let you know mine's up now!
Nice batch of H's. thanks for sharing.
There are certainly a good collectin of Hs in your village.
Great series of H's Denise. I love the geese and all the scenery. Have a great week. I always love visiting your blog.
Thanks for hosting ABC Wednesday. Its most appreciated.
Hello Denise
I always enjoy coming to visit your blog and to see what is Happening in your village.
Thank you for giving us a tour around your place and for telling us about Jo this week.
Bear((( )))
These photos are simply amazing, and so is the beautiful story you tell.
Oh, my! Your home and lands are picturesque and so welcoming! Loved all your h's--especially the geese.
What is it about geese that is so endearing?
stray geese... so cool. :) over here we mostly have stray dogs and cats... :O
This post is brilliant! I love the various H photos and text that goes with them. I love the English countryside and the geese and the horses and Jo, of course. I adore Wilma! And I read "I Saw a Jolly Hunter" out loud to Mama. She laughed more at me trying to keep it straight, and I laughed out loud at how things went in the poem.
What a neat idea for a post. Really liked it. Especially the horses.
that was an interesting set of Hs! loved it!
Those geese can cause a hulabaloo alright when they're of a mind. Great H post Mrs. N - loved it all!
Without any doubt you're the ABC (H) Master !
Denise, you live in the most beautiful place in the world. Every time I click onto your blog, I feel as if I am in an episode of "The Darling Buds of May".
Gorgeous!!!
Very beautiful photos of animals. Great seeing and not killing.
We have Canada Geese honking as they fly over the house every morning, must try and get a pic.
Your home territory came up trumps again.
A really lovely post, Denise.
I met Causley back in 1976 - a really nice man. This was at a writing course in Devon. I still have the Collected Poems that he signed.
honeysuckle is definitely one of my favorite flowers
Happy, hilarious hale and hearty, words and images.So much goes into your posts.
H is my favourite letter of the alphabet. It is soft but strong and pleasing on the eye.
I think you made a record for haging so many "h's" in one post! Great job!
That's a whole lot of H's! WOW! Love the duck picture and the hay! The doorway also makes my heart smile! I love the idea of these pictures each week! You are clever. Thanks for thinking of something so brilliant! God bless.
Perhaps Jo would like to adopt the band of travelling geese and bring them home? ummm... Christmas dinner?
Hi, Denise
These wild geese are wonderful. You worked very well, producing a beautiful series of G.
hugs, Denise
great photo for the "H"
You certainly had a lot of H's. I found the Jolly Hunter poem funny although I don't think my husband the hunter would find it nearly as amusing as I did. Mine is is up now.
Awesome H! I enjoyed it so much. Thank you!
Such artistic shots. I wish I lived in your village. No rain either?!!
Lovely series of photos for 'H'.
Happy ABC Wednesday.
My H for HIGHWAY
Looks a great place to come walking :-)
I always enjoy your many photos, and the poems at the end are a wonderful touch. I really like the geese, they are so cute.
Wonderful post, I love seeing your village,I think now you are feeding the geese they may decide to stay!
And Jolly good I said too!
Great post Denise. Just starting around some ABCers now. I am a little late, but better late than never!
OMG Denise I love your posts! So very charming!!!!!
beautiful "H's"... awesome pics
makes me want to go hiking~~Happy Wednesday!
So many great choices for "H"! I always enjoy seeing photos of your village and countryside; very picturesque. Hilarious poem! Do hope Mr. Skaife is well soon.
I was so taken by these photographs but the poem at the end was the greatest!
Love all your 'h's. Love Jo , the picture or is it a photo(?) is beautiful So snowy white.
I'll be praying for Mr. Scaife and I do like your 'Jolly' poem. Your blog is always so fascinating. How do you find the time? You cook meals, bake goodies, walk the dog and still go for bike rides on the weekend. I envy you your energy and creativeness.
Beautiful photos - and I rather like the idea of ABC Wednesday! I shall pop over to the ABC blog and see what it's all about!
I wonder if those geese were dumped by someone who knew that you kept one as a pet? Maybe they thought you'd take care of them...
