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 malumbu · Posted

      Went to a fireworks display maybe 20 years ago at the Crystal Palace, it wasn't bonfire night, can't remember why it was being held, Capital Radio were there. There were people hanging from a crane, classical music, and quiet fireworks,  It was lovely, still dramatic with the colours but no loud bangs. Not sure why this hasn't become the norm.
