Further confusion is caused by one of the Housing Associations' branches being called Griffin Housing! They're all mythical creatures (which is where JK got her inspiration) but the difference is that Griffins have 4 legs (lion's body, eagle head and wings) whereas Wyverns have hind legs only (dragon like body with wings). All very confusing - but thank you for the opportunity for me to show off my tiny knowledge of mythological creatures!Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-53520070599379735432011-08-05T10:48:39.130+01:002011-08-05T10:48:39.130+01:00Elaine, likewise reply comment left on History pag...Elaine, likewise reply comment left on History page.
