There is a colony nearly as big on the farm with the Jersey cows nearly at the A40 here - I have counted 16 there at one time. The rhyme I know is the One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Letter, Four something Better, but I can't remember how it goes on. There was a Joyce Stranger book many years ago called "One for Sorrow", I seem to remember.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-45572355024815641242019-02-19T10:31:11.924+00:002019-02-19T10:31:11.924+00:00I will take a picture of our eight magpies - they ...I will take a picture of our eight magpies - they are a greedy bunch and perform some real circus tricks trying to get at the half coconut which has fat inside and dangles from an iron post.<br />You did well at the Boot sale - the book loks like one my mum would read.
