Shriek of the Week: House Sparrow

[Tamsin Bishton]

I treasure the experience of being Roger's zoom partner on one of the group classes in that first Birdsong Academy course. You don't need me to tell you how very proud of you he was. I am glad I got the chance to witness it and hear about the great pleasure he took from seeing you doing what you love and are so good at.

[Charlie, from Birdsong Academy]

Thank you T. He loved meeting you on those calls, that was a lot of fun. 💚

[Eilidh]

What a wonderful parent. I’m sure your presence and the many memories he had of you and your brother were a comfort to your dad as he made that final journey. A beautiful remembrance. My thoughts are with you, Charlie.

[Charlie, from Birdsong Academy]

Thank you Eilidh, that's very kind. :)

[Holly Starley]

Ecstatic chirp! Perhaps my new favorite term.

I’m sorry for your loss. What a joyful relationship you shared. Thanks for sharing this bit of him here.

[Charlie, from Birdsong Academy]

Thank you Holly. Sharing happy memories is the way forward, I'm realising.

May your August bring you ecstatic chirps. :)

[Ana McKellar]

I’m sorry for your loss, Charlie. He sounds a lovely man and created a wonderful store of memories to help weather the sad times.

Thank you Ana - he did!
