Feral (town) pigeons are more like flying rats, I guess, but our wood pigeons are fine big chaps - different thing altogether. Healthy country cousin. Also very nice with a warm salad and croutons and some beetroot.<br /><br />Dumb though. Awful dumb.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-10975496782921844762018-08-10T05:04:37.162+01:002018-08-10T05:04:37.162+01:00Happy ending all round, apart from the lack of sau...Happy ending all round, apart from the lack of sausage rolls. The pigeon survived (though I doubt if it learned anything) and the lady got to be the centre of attention for about 15 minutes, and probably is due an Oscar nomination. The Greggs staff can credit themselves with having performed an act of kindness, and a number of early visitors to the town got something to talk (or even blog) about.<br /><br />Win - win - win.<br /><br />Shame about the sausage rolls, mind.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-86940048423319233722018-08-09T22:24:58.254+01:002018-08-09T22:24:58.254+01:00Of such things are tales made ... well I chuckled ...Of such things are tales made ... well I chuckled at least.Phil Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828625218031670912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-32180705902432298462018-08-09T20:41:57.283+01:002018-08-09T20:41:57.283+01:00People never cease to amaze.
