Oh and an apology for the birds:Â* It was two herons that ate the fish.
The crane was a 4 foot high ceramic masterpiece that he found in one of
the old sheds and which he put by the pond to scare the herons. They
just knocked it over and broke it.

We used to pass a pond next to the road. Next to the pond was a sign
saying 'No fishing', and on the sign a heron used to sit, eyeing the fish.
