Prangs of Home

I read Rachel Dickinson blog with interest today, She had a link to a radio interview at WSKG’s Off the Page show. The Radio is part of the PBS network, it instantly reminded me of the BBC's world service and in an instant i was almost back in the UK and made me feel quite home sick. At the moment i feel in some ways torn between the UK and here both are home. My son recently broke his arm in the UK and i felt quite helpless that i couldn't give him a hug and be there. Made me feel quite guilty too, yet at the same time my life here is so different in that i am able to do so much that i would never have been allowed to do in the UK. My wife is amazing in that i say "hey i want to do this" and she quietly and patiently follows along.

The show was pretty interesting and you can go to her blog and get the link. I think of the two shows that she has highlighted this was allot more informative about falconry and more interesting about her book "Falconry on the edge". The show gives a very good insight to how the book was written and whats in the book. The book is on my to get list along with Matthew Mullenix "In Season " Matthews book is more of interest as my Sponsor has two of Matt's birds and "Charlie" features in that book. However Rachel books is of interest as it more of a biography of someone who has gone to the extreme of falconry.

I've been looking for a radio station to listen to for a while. My family are Country Music fans so the local radio station is normally on in the car but sometimes you want something a bit more than just music bit something you can learn from. I work in a noisy office and sometimes a headphone is necessary in order to cancel out background music. I found the Oklahoma equivalent at KOSU. We will see how it goes...
