A Lark In The Park, I Have A Confession!

Many of you have asked me if I this photograph is real and do I really do climb trees? Well I have a confession to make. My squirrel obsession has indeed landed me trouble many a time but none so much as the day I climbed the tree. 

So here is the story behind the photograph.

During a lull in the weather went out on the park and patrolled the squirrel highway, whilst keeping a beady eye out for coppers. Chased a squirrel up an old knobbly tree and then I decided to climb on up after it. The little beggar would not stop, so higher and higher I went. I chased after it until it leapt onto a branch of the tree next door and left me stranded.  Lay down on the branch ,and was rather taken with the bird’s eye view I had of my patch. I realised how lucky I was, as it is quite a stunning vista.

     
My thoughts were interrupted by a violent shaking of a branch, and a lot of screeching from my human. Ignoring the situation, I tried to spy on the people sitting at the café, to see if anybody had dropped any scraps I could hoover up on the way home. To my astonishment a crowd had gathered under the tree and there was much discussion about climbing, firemen and paramedics. The humans started trying to get me to jump, but I was too busy watching the group gourmandising on salami and mozzarella Panini with extra chips.

      
I didn’t notice the man climbing onto the branch, until I felt the branch starting to bow dangerously. I tried to point out that the branch would only hold the weight of a skeletal specimen such as myself, but to no avail. The branch had bowed to just above my humans head, when I felt a tug at my collar, and legs flaying fell into the arms of my human.  There was a lot of clapping and cheering so ran away to hide in the copse by the football field. 

Suffering from severe mental anguish, so did a detour via the café, where my spirits were lifted by the sight of little people having lunch. Little people always drop goodies so managed to forage around and consume half a kitkat, two quavers and several chips. Bit disappointed, as there was no sign of salami and mozzarella Panini.
