Here is a photo my friend Tracey sent from her visit to Vancouver. Killer whale swimming in the Atlantic I think she said. Elaine.
Fortunately I have had no more encounters with Rats. Reading it from a long while back I can see that if it had been any body but myself experiencing the encounter, I would have been falling over with laughter. Nothing to do with wildlife or farming one of the funniest stories that I have ever heard was told to us by one of our relations. They do not own a computer or know how to use one, so I am safe to tell you the story without them seeing it.
The lifestyle of our relation who lives in Birmingham, is one of the Women’s institute, cake and jam making and visits to the theatre and classical concerts. For sure the Husband would not have the interest as his wife and I should think that the theatre and music night outs were done under protest and to keep the peace, on the Wife’s side to make the Husband feel involved and not left out.
This story was on a visit to Birmingham Symphony Hall, for a concert by the City of Birmingham Orchestra. At the interval the Husband was in need of the toilet, telling most of the audience with his deep Brummie loud accent. After the twenty minute interval the Wife was starting to get concerned as Husband had not yet returned to his seat. The light dimmed and the Conductor returned to rostrum taking a bow and raising his baton when on the stage came the lost Husband trying to find his seat. He told later that he had been wandering about the theatre trying to find his way to his seat and had followed what he thought was a member of the audience who turned out to be the conductor.
