    I like this dude :) My godfather is 93 and he too always says - move, do something and don't whine about life. He goes to his veteran meetings regurally, he walks some 2 miles to big market even though he has free retired riding ticket. Never shows any signs of pesimism or slowness in reason. Always eager to come to family meetings etc. Never let your life go away

    Yesterday our cycle club cycled through East Budleigh and met him - he is just amazing - he told us about his conversation with Winston Churchill - we bought some of his home grown fruit and veg - from a huge selection - Frank you really made our day - would like to see more Frank Farr please!!

    Gave him a lift from the pub in Otterton to his patch in East Budleigh a month before he died.. He managed to fit in at least 7 stories in a 10 minuet journey.

    I wonder why ferreting has never been popular in my country .. We have wild ferrets (I mean historically. Nowdays you can buy one as a pet), so logically you could domesticate them. We have hare and rabits. However I have never heard anyone does ferreting.

    @morgasm657 He could have done either or both, but he didn't, and his freezer is full of game anyway in my opinion! If that bunny received wounds from that hook, it may well have died a long, painful death. Hunters always tell me that the 'prey' dies quickly and humanely....not the always the case! You know that....

    @morgasm657 Using man-made weapons and domesticated animals that rely on a human caretaker is not nature. While a 'natural' death may cause suffering, a prolonged and painful death at the hands of human involvement is just unacceptable. In order o reduce 'pest' rabbit populations, stop hunting their natural predators makes sense to me...?! Hope the pup is doing well!
