Dandy Lion!

We came across this fierce creature when out for a walk in Cheltenham today. He is advertising "The Butterfly Lion" which is due to open soon at the theatre. It's a book by Michael Morpurgo, who also wrote War Horse, and the play uses the same idea of puppets for the animals. I loved War Horse and will try to get tickets for this show as well.

He was delighted to pose and kindly stood next to the wrought iron lions outside the old County Court building.
