Creature Feature No 9

Just a quickie here. We went up to Lyveden New Bield on Sunday, and ended-up having teas and hot chocolates out on a lawn. They gave us wooden sticks as stirrers, and a kind lady came out with a tin of sweets. Which was very nice. The Boys soon ran off to continue a sword fight on one of garden mounts, leaving this behind on the iron table. I thought: how good is that, even down to the mop of hair made by a piece of uneaten (strangely) chocolate.

Reminds me of the Uffington White Horse!

Ooh yes you're right Mr.Handley. One of my favourite landmarks; or perhaps landing marker for alien spacecraft, the White Horse only being seen as it should be from the air.

I don't suppose your kind lady was Greek and named Helen by any chance ?

A perfect simulacrum of the cover of XTC's 'English Settlement'. Nice.

Apparently it's a lama.

WH: Where's his robes, then? (Oh, you mean the Andean pack animal not the Tibetan spiritual leader.)

They had to be dedicated to the horse to leave the piece of Chocolate. I think my children would have had a horse with no hair!
