I spent part of Monday in the Hunterian Museum and as I wandered around the exhibits I was delighted to learn that Owls were greek coins and that a sheep was worth 2 goats. So this is my response for TDC5166

The Lion and the Unicorn⤴

from

The lion and the unicorn were fighting for the crown …

A pause in my day to think about today’s Feldgang. The noise of the stonemasons reminded me that this staircase is being repaired.

Lion and Unicorn Staircase

The lion, of course, stands for England; the unicorn for Scotland.

Yet again we need to fight. While there is an imbalance of power, our two nations will never be friends. I think this might be beyond repair.
