	The turkeys had a lovely time in our back field all year long with plenty to eat among the grass tufts & supplemented by high-grade special supplement usually handed out to them by my mum. Authentic free-range no less. Of course, we'd never mention anything about Christmas in their presence and the need for turkeys to be pretty fat at that festive time of year just in case it may raise their stress & anxiety syndromes - which it would do if only the turkeys had the sense to see what was coming their way in that lovely warm oven. Luckily they didn't; birdbrain & all that. Cold turkey sandwich anyone?
