Crows

I went and checked on S’s tomatoes/ garden first thing this morning. All good there so I then walked into town. Last year the High Street had an umbrella display, this year there’s some multi coloured crows. The crow is synonymous with Royston so they are often seen both artistically and in real life.
(At one time the hooded crow (corvus cornix) was so common in the district that it became known as the Royston Crow. Cromwell’s Roundheads derided the inhabitants after a brawl with local Cavalier sympathisers and called them Crows. The name has remained.)
