A Team Effort

[Pompey Mick]

I lost a grizzle hen two weeks ago and my wife received a phone call that it was resident in a Mr Bailey's garden in Eastbourne. As I was at work my wife phoned the RPRA for any local fanciers. They told her that the nearest fancier was Barry Carrol, luckily he was only two roads from Mr Bailey and so he kindly took the bird round to him. On contacting Barry  I arranged to collect the bird on Saturday (a 150 ml round trip), while we were chatting I said I was working at Horsham but was unable to drive from there as I was in a works van.

on Tuesday Barry phoned me and told me that he could arrange for a friend of his to take it to Horsham where he worked and I could collect it from there on Wednesday I readily agreed and found out that his office was less than 10 mins walk from my site.

The upshot is that my errant grizzle hen is now back in her loft thanks to the kindness & help of three complete strangers (two non-fanciers)who all played a part in getting her home quickly.
