As all my readers will remember, because I wrote about it ages ago, I lived in a big tall house in Newark... and over the road was a huge house with a huge garden and huge trees ... and in those huge trees were corvids, Rooks to be more precise. and they made a lot of noise, and I loved it ! If you live there, you could trundle along to "Northgate House", just a bit north of the castle and a bit south of the railway station, and see if they're still there. And then you could tell me . I hope they are. But at the age of eleven I was uprooted and got "migrated" to a right dump called " Widnes" which was not good. So I have a huge affinity with the "Corvid Tribe" ...as, I'm sure, have you lot. I used to get a "WOJAR" over my current house. Wave of Jackdaws and Rooks. Most early mornings 1000s+ of them would whizz over the house NE-wards . But one day, it all stopped. And that was that. An interesting book, but, like all books, it should have an Index. In fact , every book should have an index. And now, "When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease" .. Roy Harper.
