This morning I took a short cut through the local cemetry to get to the bus stop to come to work.
The cemetry was deserted, it was still dark, it was raining, all the trees were bare, black clouds hung over head, and a single magpie sat on a grave stone.
I stood and looked at it, and i saw a prize winning photo opportunity. As is alwayt the case in this situation i didn't have my camera with me, but i do havbe one on my mobile.
I fumbled for it quickly, my fingers were cold and numb and had very little feeling. I turned the phone on and waited for it to be ready, and waited, and waited.....
I guess you all know whats coming. Yea, it flew away.
The same thing happened some years ago when i was on a fishing trip on lock ness and a large serpant type creature rose up out of the water......
