The Great (Guinea) Escape...
I love the idea that this tufted twosome have hatched the great escape and are currently scurrying off into the sunset. Fur-clad versions of Thelma & Louise, who have said ‘so long’ to the hutch and are heading for far greener pastures. Or maybe even back to Guinea! And yes, I do know they don’t actually hail from Guinea, before any members of the British Cavy Council (where genuine G Pig fanciers flock - check it out, it exists!) start bombarding me. However I hadn’t realised that HRH Elizabeth mark 1 had been a proud owner of one...
Anyway, enough of ‘pets of the rich & famous’. I'm sure there are some grief-stricken youngsters who are desperately missing their rotund rodents, but I'm not sure I could bring myself to "capture" the errant cavia porcellus as instructed; partly because I am far too carried away with the notion that they are a latter day Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Pig.
But mostly because I am not exactly warming to the slightly dictatorial tone of this ‘Lost’ poster. Where are the pictures of weeping kids? Photos of the AWOL pair?? The heart-felt pleas for their safe return??? They don’t even bother mentioning how much they miss them!?! I’m starting to suspect that there is more of a touch Kommandant von Luger about the author of this sign. I mean for all I know, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot could have sprung themselves from some animal testing lab, secreted away in the backstreets of Balham. They’re not called guinea pigs for nothing!
Putting all that aside, the cynic in me fears that their owners may want check with the Fox family at number 43...

On Closer Inspection...
Even the most sporadic of visitors to this blog/diatribe will know that I am rather partial to a sign – preferably with a hefty dose of homespun wackiness!
Whilst walking around my ‘manor’ on Friday, I spotted a number of these beauties dotted around. My first impression was that they were as hopeless in their artistry as they were in their pursuit of their long-gone belongings.
But on a closer inspection, I saw that the ‘artist’ had in fact added a rather masterful detail to proceedings. Note the despondent face on the lost ID – genius!
Somehow I doubt his quest will result in much success, but one can only hope that whoever found/stole the wallet sees these and relents...
Boat drinks Picasso!
