Au Revoir Shipley

His Lordship and I had a seamless journey home from a showery Shipley to a sunny Edinburgh- now that's a change, although the temperature felt several degrees colder.

All was going so well it was a nasty surprise to discover that someone had stolen our stone frog, sculpted by a son-in-law from the patio in our absence.

In nearly 6 years of living here, this is the first thing that has been taken from right outside our door. Perhaps in future we will not pull the blinds down when we go on holiday.
It is so sad that wee froggy has gone and with him about 12 years of shared history.
The concierge is going to look at the CCTV images over the weekend, but I fear he has gone forever. I wonder if he now gracing a student flat nearby.
