I got up close to a couple of barn owls today at Chatsworth's annual jewellery fair hosted by local jewellers, C.W. Sellors.
I'd gone along to have a look at a particular piece of jewellery I have my eye on, only to discover they hadn't brought any of what I wanted to this event, so I'm going have to visit the stores in Derbyshire towns now and see which one has what I want in stock.
Still, it was worth going along to meet Dick and Dom, the 9 year old owls, kept by the lady I've done a couple of fungi forays with and there on behalf of Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. She had a full collection box which was stuffed with lots of notes too, so I guess people like the owls!
