Finlay morphs into a ......



............................ Pheasant ?????


Moored up at Norbury. What a great spot, it has a BW sanitary facilites, that are the best I have seen so far. Great showers, great moorings and great Bookswap. Grindley Brook take note !


This time it came up trumps with this tame pheasant. We all watched him strutting his stuff along the tow path, peering into boat windows and when Mick took Finlay off for a walk, he investigated his food bowl. Finlays, not Micks. ! I wander if he will make it to 12th August? We were all licking our lips at the thought of him sitting in a casserole surrounded with baby shallots, mushrooms, red wine and herbs etc. MMMMMMM.


As we moored up today at Penkridge, I noticed that a boater had left a mat behind on the tow-path. It looked in a reasonable state, until I turned it over. They had used it to cover a pile of dog sh.. muck. A few buckets of canal water, fairy liquid and a scrubbing brush soon sorted that out. Its like new. and talking of canal water, Finlay is now banned from drinking it. To a dog it obviously tastes like best bitter, but no good for his tum.


Question 2.
Is this a) an exotic new breed of waterfowl?
or as Mick jas just stated " Its obvious that its a BW worker pushing a wheel barrow". Some people have no sence of humour, honestly. !
