The Beast of Sedgemoor

Poke to enlarge 

Unlike in full sized England, which is now officially twinned with Atlantis due to all the rain, here at Whimsy Pit it’s a beautiful hot sunny day. 

Former publican, now turned conversational Latin speaking horse whisperer Shamus O’Shandy, is asking Hubert the conversational Latin speaking horse if he’d like to have a day out fishing in his new rowing boat. That’s it up against the wall next to Benny who’s counting old cartwheel spokes just in case the number has changed overnight. Which they do from time to time oddly enough. 

However Hubert, who is such a clever horse, suggests that it might be a little too small for the both of them, especially if they catch a really huge fish or spy submarine causing them to capsize. And anyway, Hubert much prefers to be on dry land as he mutters something about seahorses and webbed hooves. 

Meanwhile, Freddy the Flag standing next to Driver Peter and his Peckett locomotive is keeping an eye out for The Beast of Sedgemoor which was spotted by several people overnight around pub closing time roaming the bogs. Though that might just be the effect of a night out on moonshine laced rough scrumpy cider which is known for its hallucinogenic qualities. 

And finally, smoke fanatics will notice how both the steam freighter in the distance and the locomotive have an almost identical smoke pattern. Such synchronised firemanship skills takes years to learn, and I hope you agree they’ve really pulled it off this morning to an Olympic level.
