I know for sure that many others read my blog, but a comment is always very welcome, even constructive criticism. <br /><br />Fennie, I know how you felt, those big birds 'up close' can look enormous! <br /><br />Lesa, wonderful to have you on board again. I'm afraid the dove I named after you disappeared a long time ago.<br /><br />Hopeinparis - Jane - always good to hear your news when you email me. And I was so relieved for you about Chieko.<br /><br />Guernsey Girl - I never think of being particularly kind but I do my best I suppose. It's easy to be kind to birds/animals - it's the people that can be tricky isnt it? Hope your little grand-daughter is doing well.<br /><br />Happy Christmas everyone.Faith https://www.blogger.com/profile/04672728248961388984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119986262111403412.post-4302298505284364482013-12-14T16:16:41.714-08:002013-12-14T16:16:41.714-08:00Wonderful to read a recap of the year - even thoug...Wonderful to read a recap of the year - even though some of it makes me sad...Here's to you, Faith, one of the kindest people I have ever 'met' in the virtual world.

I too still mourn the little ones lost... And I was chuffed to be mentioned not just once but twice! Thank you so much. Best wishes to you, your family and flock for a blessed Christmas.

I hope you and your dears, including the feathered ones, have a wonderful, healthy Holiday and New Year!

Never a dull moment is there but it takes a while to realise all those doves that have figured in these pages and which have now gone on to better things. I am still mourning for the first Fennie and today, approaching a roundabout in the car, I was startled by this enormous shape that threatened to fly right into me. As I stopped at the traffic light the buzzard (though it could have been a goshawk or even an eagle) alighted in a tree and we looked at each other and I thought I know now how Fennie must have felt looking at those long yellow legs and sharp talons. I was quite glad of having the car for protection! Whatever was it doing. Run out of doves obviously. I do hope my story of Fennie is one day published so that will be one life that is prolonged. Happy Christmas to you and your doves and may you all find safety and prosperity in the New Year.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.com
