OK, while we’re on the animal theme what was the heron hunting for when seen from the train window? And which book?

YOU ARE RIGHT!

(Apologies for the delay, two offspring packed off to uni last month so have been not on here much recently!)

It was one of the early episodes from this new series … maybe 3 or 4?? I’ll check later and report back!

If Squashy hadn’t been so shy and just demanded to know what Nancy was doing with his paint pot (like he was a Mr Jemmerling) the novel would have ended then. Then, I guess if he wasn’t so shy he’d have knocked on the Beckfoot front door in the first place and it would never have started.

Very true!!

I do like how Ransome has captured Squashy Hat’s character in this little line drawing … he could appear either a bit suspicious, or very shy.

On this occasion it was John, Dick and Nancy, but the other bits correct!
