The Percy Lion

A short working day, as we had a leisurely 'office' lunch in Berwick. Lovely!

In to Alnwick to do a supermarket shop early in the evening. But first a walk with Louie down to the river near the Lion Bridge, so-called because it has a sculpture of the Percy Lion. The lion is distinguished from all other lions by having a straight tail. Why this should be I have no idea, but - please read no further if you are of a delicate disposition - MrM and I think that the straight tail makes it look as though it's about to do a poo! Which is possibly more than you wanted to know...
