  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC. That's 'Before Computers'. Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all... Archbishop Temple's School.

    During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock 'n' Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during 'The Cold War'...and then

    I became 'a family'. Which meant that I sort of missed the 'swinging sixties', but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.

Ghost bird.

Posted by Big John on December 18, 2006

The other morning I was having breakfast when I heard a thump from the direction of a kitchen window.

Thinking that a bird had probably crashed into it, I went out into the garden to investigate, but could find no trace of an injured bird. Not one single feather.

This morning as I raised the kitchen window blinds, I noticed that some dust on the outside of the window was reflecting the sunlight, and there, imprinted on the glass, was the perfect outline of a bird in flight …
