Alan 'Hoppity' Hayball...the Broom Balancing years!

Back in the day when I was 'world champion' broom balancer!

Does anybody remember seeing me on 'Day by Day'  ITV southern news prog or on 'great british eccentrics' - on 'Nationwide- BBC' I was balancing a broom standing on two househod bricks in Southampton studio with one eye on Tv monitor, speaking to Sue Lawley in London. If anyone has footage...all the better! Trouble is, few people had video recorders 33 years ago!

Watching Vixen

'Watching'
An Urban fox I found sat on the compost heap in my
garden.Looking into her eyes, I imagine she is thinking:

'Leave me in peace, I am resting.
Its daytime and I have a long night ahead of me,
I am cold and trying to warm myself through the compost heap and the rays of the weak winter sun.
Tonight I shall have to work hard to find food, to get me through the night,
Whether it be discarded takeaways, berries, worms or even a mouse, it'll be a scavenge.
Please leave me in peace, I can't help being a fox.'

(A countryside fox lives over 12 years ...an urban fox survives for only 2-3years.) - al hayball ©2014
