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."

      Fireworks

      By Happyme5 · Posted

      Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.

      Phone box in front of Oru...

      By NewWave · Posted

      Ugly...maybe..does it bother me..NO! I think its somehow reassuring to see theres still phoneboxes around. East Dulwich may  be getrified but there may well be some elderly people who don't have mobiles and kids who may have lost theirs adults ditto etc etc. I'd rather keep it than lose it...just because i don't use it does'nt mean its not needed.  there are many eyesores in the modern world not all of them as potentially useful.

      Balayage Salon in Lordsip Lane.

      By mimi1 · Posted

      I strongly recommend Balayage salon in Lordship lane as everytime I visit,they make me feel very spicial with thier profisionalism and care.   I have been going there for the last 10 years maybe more, and will never exchange them for any other. They are profisional, welcoming and they also always have an offer. I feel like a new woman every time. X
