Ice cream

The man in the photo with the white shirt and diagnal stripe is the falconry handler.

We've been to Silloth green day.

A lovely day, bit cool but dry.

Crafty tents and a dog show, some good music on the stage all afternoon. Frankie B had some of us singing and jigging to Frank sinatra and other tunes.

We had chips and curry in the amusement arcade. A lively afternoon.

We would watch the falconry display at 3pm. The sun came out, Frankie singing and the birds on display, what could go wrong?

Nothing major, just the naughty birds. One flew away into the trees, the buzzard. This was all part of the display I think, the handler was happy to leave it there. I thought cruel as it might be scared but it soon moved and flew off into the trees further! Still the handler was not worried. Then the next one did a couple of things then it went to the trees too. Off went the handler to get it. Successful, back to the display ring, off it flew ..... back to the trees! Off he went again to retrieve the bird. He brought it back. It didn't get another chance! The display finished with a 6 week old little owl having its tea! The buzzard? I'm hoping it came back when called later

We finished the afternoon with a Mr whippee ice cream.
