If you lazed on your sofa and watched The One Show yesterday you will have seen a piece about 'The Human Arrow'. Mars and I were part of it. How it happened - We joined a lovely local group of people - 30 or so on a sunny Good Friday Easter Egg hunt. Dogs running delightedly as we ambled through woods and across fields. But the peace was spoilt by the loud whirring of a large black helicopter almost overhead. It appeared to be following us and for about 20 minutes hovered scarily close. Then, suddenly, out of nowhere two figures erupted out of the woods, spilt up and sped crazily across the furrowed field in front of us. 'They're on the run' someone shouted and we waved furiously at the helicopter. It didn't see us. BUT within a flash our brilliant children raced onto the field, lay on the ground - 12 of them - and formed a human arrow. And the pilot saw. They followed the arrow and the first man was picked up. He was one of two men (who they also arrested) that had broken into and burgled a local brickworks. Well done kids! Here is the photo I took of the helicopter as it landed before the police came over to talk to us. However, Mars was with me throughout and I feel The One Show missed a trick when they screened a reconstruction of the event depicting a small furry type of dog - they could have used my gorgeous boy!
