BUZZ THE RATBAG
A more recent pic of Buzz from spring this year.
You know how I like to just randomly dig up old topics
Unfortunately I have a good reason rooting this one out . I had a phone call from my Aunt Eileen in Staplehurst Monday just gone and she told me that Buss the old ratbag girl had died.
I found this adorable Peach faced girl on the sea defences at Folkstone just before where the Gualt clay cliffs start up and copt Point is further along . I was expecting a struggle with her trying to catch her , but in the end she must have been so exhausted from flying over from France that I easily threw a coat over her , and only then she made a noise , and was bagged up and on her way to Staplehurst in a Geological tool filled holdall.
I arrived back at Staplehurst to an unforgiving uncle and he was'nt having any of it . My cousin Bruce did'nt believe me until I opened up a small hole in the zipper small enough to let some light in and what popped out , the head of a lovebird.
Needless to say Alan finaly gave in to the ladies of the family and Cousin Nanci named the girl after her favourite toy story at character at the time in 1995.
Buzz
Buzz has always been a Ratbag or in otherwords lived in a Rat Cage . We will never know how old she realy was the Staplehurst household had her from 1995 until her passing in 2007 , that being 12 years , there is a possibility that she could have been a year or two years when I had found her back in Folkstone in 1995.
There could also be the possibility Buzz was french.
R.I.P Buzz old girl.
