when all is not as it seems part two..

Well summer is  drawing to a close, so I thought I’d lighten the mood with another “all is not as it seems” story from a few years ago….

It was a beautiful sunny summer’s day on the North Yorkshire coast (that of itself is remarkable!), and I was on the front with my wife and young children.

We’d just had an ice cream (I had enjoyed a Cornetto), and were about to move on when I spied a lump of icecream on my t-shirt. There it was, about to slide down my front, the ice cream glistening, the melted chocolate glistening. I just had to reach out with  a finger and scoop it into my mouth before it did any more damage to the shirt.

Only it wasn’t ice cream, it was really a present from a seagull!

If ever you’ve wondered what seagull poo tastes like, (and I bet it keeps you awake at night), think fish paste and you won’t be far wrong!

Remember don’t judge too quickly. Outwardly something may look very appealing but don’t be too hasty to swallow everything you see!
