Here is the festive pony! There were quite a few around in town taking part in the Dickensian festival in Ulverston yesterday. This was the best pony by far. Lots of people were dressed up in old fashioned clothes but we didn't join in.
Here is the photo of the Ulverston branch of Fathers for Justice up the Town Hall clock tower. You have to click on the photo to read their banner properly. There is a gorilla up there as well as Batman. I was told that they were talked down later in the day.

And finally a big bird! Not sure what species this one was. It was on Lancaster bird charity's stall along with an array of other birds of prey and owls.
