NaNu/Patti, thankyou for clarifying for Bridget the point I was TRYING to make re her relationship with her sister :)

 :)As to my ability, or not, to give an assessment of part of someone's character by reading a piece of paper in which it was made obvious what their concerns were, isn't that just what Ann had done about Jeremy, when by her own admission, she knew little about him.

Hi April

The thing I find most interesting about the forum is that most posters seem intelligent and decent and as far as I'm aware all have access to the same info and yet the guilty and innocent posters interpret info in completely different ways which obviously leads to a different conclusion  :)

Look in the far corner on top of the table and there lays a feather.  Where did it come from and why is it on the table as June had set the table for morning breakfast.  Not a very good photo, maybe someone has got a better one...this one I have tampered with...:(

Perhaps it was an important treasure belonging to one of the twins.

It could have been, kids like to pick feathers up. I know I did when I was young.  But there is something on the end of the feather like it was attached to something...I can't seem to get a good view of it...It could be that June left the feather on the table. Or Ken Dodd dropped it from his fiddling stick lol  :) :) :) :)

Just a thought. I've heard of feathers in caps and fleas in ears but I've never heard of feathers behind ears. What COULD he have meant by it ;)?

When compared with the spoon head it appears very small.  Is it def a loose feather and not part of a motif on a placemat or a napkin holder or the like?

Definitely a loose feather, I think there is something on the nib end of it....Like I say I can't get a good view of it on this picture I posted above....someone must have a clearer one somewhere....I will see if I can find one, there might be one in the archives... :) :) :) :)

Interesting that you all attempt to deflect the main points being made by focussing on the differences as you see it (presumably based on your own experiences because you know little of mine) between a relationship between sisters and wider family. So for anyone still in any doubt as to what I think:

I find the notion that you can assess a person's true personality and motives, and the complexities of their familial relationships, via witness statements taken by police for a murder trial incredibly misguided especially in light of the fact that you have never met the person.

I find it surprising that apparently intelligent people think it acceptable to publish their ill-conceived and ill-informed opinions on a public website where the subject of their vilification is likely to at least become aware of them if they don't see them themselves.

I'm sorry if that seems blunt but I feel quite strongly about it.

That said, I completely agree with the excellent post that Vic made on another thread in which he pointed out the fact that whilst all this is good forum fodder it will never make it past first base in a court, and so I will go back to ignoring it as I usually do.



....just cos I eat worms...

I seem to recall that it was part of the New Romantic look around that time.  I think it was more earrings that had a feather dangling from them  ;D ;D ;D  I can't recall guys wearing them but they may have done.  They certainly wore a lot of a make-up as in Spandu Ballet, Gary Numan, Duran Duran.  I recall making my brother's eyes up for him a couple of times ;D ;D ;D

May have been Sheila's feather earring?

Hi Bridget, sorry if I have said anything out of turn to offend you in any way.   :(
