debris4spikeJust a small pic-scam ... 2 pictures of Bude.
One of which is Mum, Dad and Jiffy standing by the open (damaged) lock gates ... proving the lock opens into the Atlantic ocean. The other picyure is just of Jiffy. They were taken last month when Mum and dad came for Father's Day weekend
Thes 2 pictures are of the 2 different peacocks I saw when I went to Arlington Court in the beginning of June. The pictures of the actual house are very dark, so haven't bothered with those - but these are of a white peacock and a traditional coloured one.
Nature is so beautiful - we have a marvellous Creator.

Date: 2008-07-15 10:23 pm (UTC)Have they repaired the lock gates yet ? I remember you showing us the damage that was done to them earlier in the year.

Date: 2008-07-16 07:56 am (UTC)The lock gates are "getting there". The gate itself is lying near the canal and is repaired - and they are still working on the actual structure of the wall. While the main basin was drained, they decided to dredge and repair - so it is taking longer, but a job that needed doing. ... I have just hunted out a pic and will load and post ASAP

We had a blue peacock for awhile he was very vocal as he has previously just lost his mate. It wasn't ours, but just wandered in and made himself at home. We still have all his tail feathers from when he moulted. When we left the lady over the road took him in as she has always admired him. Being a fan of - Are you being served we call him *Captain Peacock*!!!
