Hunting the Haggis








Thought you might like these pics from our morning walk - in no particular order, they are

1) a rather smart one of me standing by the moored up barge "Bella of Bow" Dad's Mum was born and raised in Bromley-by-Bow, (although anyone sounding less like a cockney sparrer' you could not witsh to meet!), so we love this one. The "poly-tunnel" in the background, by the way, is not a horticultural thing - it's a makeshift tent the barge-boys build over their decks during winter maintenance


2) Me having a delivate sniff of the nether regions of boat-yard dog Jasper


3) The "Billygoat Gruff" bridge which is our way in to the boat yard. Faversham Creek is in the background, and the marshes out towards Nagden Farm. Meggie is just crossing it. We are all completely un-fazed by the ricketty-ness of this bridge; so dad can't understand why I hate the perfectly solid footbridge over the railway line.

4) Superb all-action shot of me heroically about to bring down a full grown Haggis-beast (prey animal), what I caught out in the open in the grassy plains of.. um... the Rec. Coo His teeth look a bit scary in this one. Hope he doesn't put up too much of a fight. A girl could get damaged!
Have a great weekend
