A Grand Gromplication

 

The Howl

 

Feathers Macaw

 

Wallace in Wonderland - we noticed a difference in the type of people hunting this year, and the volume of people hunting.  We came across many older people hunting (most on their own), and most interesting to chat to a few as we went on our way. this however, was the largest group we came across. Descending on the statue quickly and leaving just as quickly. I didn't think to ask the group name - only who had knitted the hats - Grandma's, mum and aunts came the shouts! 


 


The Bristol Hound

 

Light as a Feather

 

The Wensleydale Kid  - unlike our last visit the weather was extra kind, the view from the hill was amazing.

Gnome Sweet Gnome - so hope they release this as an actual garden gnome!
