An alert bloggee has noticed that a post of about a week ago about the Pheasantry on the Whiteadder has disappeared from Musings. Well spotted, enquirer of Eyemouth. . Huttonian has pressed delete after representations from the manager of the facility who was anxious that some comments might be commercially damaging to his competitors raising chicks elsewhere. Huttonian is not in the business of endangering livlihoods -however remote the possibility of doing so may be so the post has gone to that great trash can in hyperspace.
It just shows that jocularity is too often taken on its face value-one man's meat being another man's Poisson-and that is not intended as a comment on the commercial fishing aspects of the Whiteadder operation.
Moreover I am assured that some aspects of the rant were just wrong. The small number of Chick's is nothing to do with any restrictions imposed by the threat of Bird Flu, as Huttonian speculated, but because they have not arrived yet.This year 14,000 of them are to be bred on the banks of the Whiteadder-see image of their neighbourhood. Anyhow I have been promised a guided tour of the enterprise later in the season and a better informed report with pictures will follow.If I am spared, of course.
And I just wonder if the post, warts and all, was really worth a visit by East Lothian's finest. Aggrieved bloggees please use the comment or e-mail to Huttonian facility. Our polis have better things to do. Surely
Finally the latest image of the new Village Hall. It is still in the nearly, nearly finished stage. As it has been for some time now- a slow start, a slow finish. The pundits claim it will be completed this coming week. (13 July is a date which has been bandied around for some time) I hesitate to evoke the rodents of disbelief. I would be very happy to be wrong.
Again.
