Beaver patrol!

[john k]

I'm on holiday at the Lower Mill Estate on the Cotswolds, and they have a beaver colony here. We went to have a look in the woods to see if we could find any sign of them and this was the first thing we saw.

 

I thought that they only did this in cartoons!

I tried to point out to the director that the trees were supposed to be axe felled and would have concave, not convex, surface and the one to be axe felled would look different, he was unconcerned and one of the gaffers explained they wouldn't notice it in the 1/9d seats.

 

BTW the picture reminds me of a rhyme my mother used to chant when my sister misbehaved:

who had a little curl

right in the middle of her forrid

she was very very good
