    The Vicar's Letter

    The Vicar’s Letter The Vicarage, Waltham Road, (corner of Foliejohn Way) Woodlands Park Telephone 01628 822000 Dear Friends, For the past couple of days, our house has been under siege — from a jay. There is a pair of them building a nest in a large tree just across the road, and while one busies itself pulling apart a small tree in our garden to provide nesting material, the other has decided to try to get into the house. Indeed, even as I write this, it is pecking at the window behind me. It’s tried all the windows on this side of the house: pecking and scratching, high up and low down, perched on the sill or hovering with its wings. And it’s left messy marks, some apparently of its own blood, all over some of them. For a bird which is meant to be (relatively) intelligent, it is proving itself to be remarkably thick. I’ll give it full marks for persistence, but you’d have thought it ought to have learned by now that there really is no way in. I can’t imagine what it hopes to gain by coming in, but what is certain is that its goal is unattainable, and all it will achieve is to waste a lot of time and effort getting hugely frustrated and more than likely hurting itself in the process. Coincidentally, I’ve also been reading the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. It’s a ruthless exposure of how we humans often behave in ways which are really quite similar.
