'I've lost me mum!'

There is an expression in Latin that the mother determines the destiny of a child (hence the reason we blame our parents for f.... g up our lives). I was reminded as I found this fledgling probably out learning to fly on his mum's instructions and trying to go incognito from the hound and I as we walked past tonight and what was really going through his mind was 'Where's mum? Help!'. I hope this little mite found his mum and she taught him how to fly. I still wish I had a mum.
