Panic over - a happy ending. it was just stunned and has now flown away. Well done to the school boy from Kingsdale who knocked on the door to tell us it had fallen from the roof. A cat or crow could have easily got it whilst it was lying htere.


We put it in a recycling box and released it in our garden.


It was so beautiful - wish i'd got a pic.

This reminds me of 'Blanche', from Captain Beaky...


A baby owl, whose name was Blanche

Perched bravely on a narrow branch

And wondered whether she should try

To jump up and attempt to fly...


She bravely counted up to ten

And then, she counted ten again

She jumped! She found she couldn't fly

And lay there, looking at the sky


"It's lucky that that branch", said she

"was on the ground, and not the tree."


Then off she ran and flapped her wings

And said "These are most awkward things

"For though I skip and jump quite high

"I'm still no nearer to the sky..."


And falling down, she gave a howl

And wished she'd never been an owl.

And finally her mother found her

And put a great big wing around her

And said "Dear Blanche, don't be upset!

You haven't grown your feathers yet."

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
