The Blob

It has been removed, refuge didn't know what to do, repairs didn't know, refuge did say it could be removed for £25 , as I expected. Finally housing dept sorted it out so no more blob . My offer of camping in Wales sadly has to be withdrawn , no tent

Keep it for future great-grandchildren then!

Cherry, a heatwave in June is classed a miracle in Wales ?

Trisher , lovely thought but - they are 24, 20 and 17

I would keep it. If your grandchildren come to visit they can play in it, or even sleep overnight!
Finders keepers, especially if there's no identification. They're quite expensive.

Annie your garden now just needs a sand pit and a deckchair
Oh and a February heat wave!

It was very strange, she was walking past and he leaned over the fence and took her pony tail in his beak then let go - it probably didn't taste fishy!

I was shocked when Percy came at me , he looked so sweet and I was only walking on a path about seven foot away , woosh came Percy, would be so frightening for a child , frightened me

A pelican once took a bite at DD when she was little, luckily only got her pony tail!

Sensible choice, nasty creatures, I have been chased by geese, a swan and a pelican named Percy

That's why the romans had them as sentinels

Thank you Glammananna , I love ducks , geese are a different matter, nasty creatures and not funny when they chase you

I can send you a couple of ducks which escaped from market gardens close to my house,set yourself up in the egg laying business to supply your campers.

But who would want a paddling pool in February ?

I wonder if, somewhere, some hapless campers woke up sans tent?

Update

Looked inside the tent, no body but I now have a paddling pool ?

Haven't been able to look inside, we have had gales since Wednesday night, I can just see the front page of our local paper, pensioner run over in her garden by a tent ?

Yes, have a look inside for identification, as someone suggested.
In our camping days we once had a dome tent. We always camped on a hill. One windy morning we had got up to wash etc in the stream below, and the tent was caught by a gust of wind, ripped out the pegs, and blew away.
We found it eventually.

Made me chuckle.
If it was me I think I'd weigh it down, stick a sign in my front window saying you have it (ask callers for colour etc. so you know it's theirs) and give it a few more days and then dispose of it.

If I remember rightly the Blob was taken and frozen in the Arctic. May I remind you about global warming!!! Dan da daaa!

If your Blob is one of those easy pop up things. Catching it and folding it back up may be a real challenge! My DGS has pop up goal which has to stay up in the garage as none of the family has been able to get it back in the bag!

I don't live too far from there Jalima , about 1 hour and so I go on a "girls weekend" a couple of times a year. Pure bliss!

That made me smile, annie. Tents have a mind of their own. The last time we used our trailer tent complete with huge awning was on a Welsh cliff top. It blew, it stormed, it blew some more. I slept in the car while Mr C and our eldest held the thing down. We sold it very soon after. Love Portmeirion, it's a magical place I think, haven't been for years, now I am reminded it's going on the 'places I want to return to' list. Hope 'the blob' behaves Itself tonight annie. Guess you could keep it and see if anyone advertises a reward for its return?

It's years since we went, it was a surprise for my birthday one year - DH surpassed himself!

Portmeirion is lovely isn't it Jalima ? They still have a day every year (August, i think) when visitors turn up wearing those black blazers trimmed with white edges. And they also have the huge penny farthings bikes and the big plastic balls that were used to keep the Prisoner in check.

You are right, Jalima, Steve McQueen. Why do I always confuse the two of them? They are nothing alike.
