Thankyou! Did not know the original rhyme and would not have written it without reading your wonderful version first. Also Drew's opinion of robins :0) The original is so long, I kept having to look to see how many more verses to go!...

Rich with your way of seeing, how you conjure the majesty and marvel of life in so few lines. I am really glad you got out into the sunshine and the wild, Rhiannon. It is like seeing a butterfly open its wings reading this :0)

Oh! I am glad he is better, remember you writing about him ages ago, having to stay in a cage till his bones healed. And then a rat!!! That is a proud and stubborn spirit he must have.

This is magic! I do hope it is where you live?
I love the first part, the crazy dance (rooks always seem a bit crazy) I imagined a scene which has played for centuries on those hills? A wonderful timeless quality.
I liked how you...
