As a
child I sang the hymn ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’, I watched the
programme ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ and I read the books (thank-you James
Herriot), so now at last I have the t-shirt...a dark green RSPCA one to be precise...
Every day
I am surrounded by all things bright and beautiful (and I don’t mean the
staff!) and all creatures great and small. And the creatures I see are great,
not necessarily in size, but in their ability to adapt and survive. Their
existence is one of endurance against threat which man and other animals
continually pose. A respect for our British wildlife is often overlooked. It
should not be.
From the
teeny tiny vole to the crafty old fox and all those in between, they are not
just part of our landscape, but an integral part of a delicately balanced
ecological chain...
So let’s
hear it!! ‘All things bright and
beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful...’ (You
know the rest!)
