It's appropriate that the famous owl is blessing a rugby club with its
presence. Those who aren't followers of the game they play in Heaven may not
be aware that  a short distance along the road from the RUC, Turner, the
other side of Haig Park, is a rugby ground: the home of Uni-Norths Owls
Rugby Club.

My mother inherited a china owl. For years it has sat on her window sill,
looking into the living room and dispensing its sage advice to, now, four
generations of the family. On the cracked, worn base (removed to the
backyard to pose for a photograph) are these words:

This wise old owl lived in an Oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard
Let's emulate this wise old Bird
