MM Links August 2010 [Week 1]
66 Answers
Good Morning to all you MM Linkers! I believe that crofter has dubbed me “The Lady Ursula”, but you will know me better as “owllady”. I am very pleased and honoured to have the opportunity to attempt to do my bit to contribute to the MM Links Games throughout the month of August. In fact, my name means “little she bear” so I ought to be an arctophile. However, my passion is for the bird which has been the mascot of Athens since ancient times and was revered for its superb intelligence, wisdom and grace: the owl (from the family “Strigiformes”). I was brought up in a little village in Lincolnshire, where my fascination with all the creatures of the night originated. My sister and I used to lie in bed and listen to these eerie sounds emanating from the woods opposite the house. Our parents explained us that the noises came from foxes and owls. The sly, cunning and blood-thirsty foxes did nothing for my imagination, as we used to see the local hunt quite regularly, although I don’t recall any being caught. The owls on the other hand fascinated me, because they were hardly ever seen and (when I did manage to see one) it was always so graceful, elegant and silent
