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."

      "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
