Premium Member The Rutland Dragon '

An old English dragon is about to emerge dredged up in a lake, where it might have
Been reared.? Not the biggest of the familiy yet the most intact.' Soon to be exibited..Hey I only state facts.! We don't know if it breathed fire.? Or what colour were its eyes at just over thirty feet though
It was of just over medium size ' perhaps it
Lived on its island, with a mum and Dad.?
Maybe just a batchelor.? A sort of Jack 
on the scales; as in 
Lads..There is also an old castle, not too far away, maybe he had an eye for a princess who can truly say.? Perhaps it had a pet ogre.? Or was friends with an evil queen.?  they 
could have dined together, on infant children.? It
A tried and tested story theme.' 
I suppose things will be revealed 
more.? As in the Good book i have
 often
 seen, a description
Of wild dragons, brave warriors, 
giants and
Miracles, so many, very. Diverse scenes.!!!

Premium Member Fake Cow-Milking News

There is quite a big ruckus on the street
Lad's milking a cow without any teats
   How does he do it?
   He stands, doesn't sit
Hey look, Mom, no hands. I'm using my feet!

Rutland Water

The water, sandy shore, lush hills, swaying trees, the smart lakeside houses and 

boated fishermen in the breeze from the Spit of the largest reservoir in England's 

smallest county completed our beautiful Spring day in the Midlands.
