It was lovely - really willing it on its way.

It ended the R4 Today program.

Was it this morning I woke up to hear a poem being read I think by Michael Morpurgo urging a stranded whale to make its way back to the sea from the Thames?
Poor baby Minky was doomed from the start. Even if he/she had made it back out to sea it would not have survived without its mother and the chances of them being reunited were practically zero.

That is really sad, I wonder how many times a whale has come up the Thames like this but still managed to escape back out to sea somehow. It always seems to end this way.
