Shaun the Sheep - Bristol IV

From Dusk 'til Shaun. A nocturnal Shaun with a sunset colour scheme. I like this one, very colourful. He is in Brandon Hill Nature Park. Hill is the important bit there. It's quite steep. Nice park, but steep. In the background is Cabot Tower, built in 1897 to commemorate the voyage of John Cabot from Bristol to Newfoundland (they thought long and hard over naming that). It's 100 feet high and you can climb to the top using the staircase inside if the climb up the hill wasn't enough for you, or you can fly if you have wings.

Shaun on the Cob, Shaun the Sheep crossed with a corn on the cob. In a shopping centre, just outside a fairly well known shop. Having met this Shaun I started feeling peckish, not that dragons eat vegetables but they do eat - better not say it around Shaun -. Which probably explains why I kept fancying a snack.

This Shaun is Cecilia. Cecilia is covered with Laura Ashley designs and is in one of the shopping centres in Bristol - there's a few of those and you can't always tell one ends and another begins. Cecilia was very nice, only trouble is he looked like a duvet so I kept thinking it was bed time. The noise in the shopping centre would have kept me awake and it was a bit bright, I prefer my nice dark caves.

Off to Bristol for more Shauns. Bristol is the home of Shaun the Sheep and is a rather nice city, it's also close to Wales which makes it even nicer, but not as nice as if it was in Wales. Anyway, this Shaun is Bagpuss Shaun in Cabot Circus. I know who Bagpuss is, but I don't get the frog on his head. Still he seemed a nice enough frog, not keen on the banjo though. I was hoping to find Jessica Fletcher but Shaun and the Frog didn't know who I was talking about. I guess they had only lived in Cabot Circus for a couple of days so didn't know everybody yet.

Here is Liberty Bell. I like this one, you get to see the Statue of Liberty without flying over the Atlantic. Saved my wings a lot of work. Liberty Bell is outside Fenchurch Street Station. For a major station its very difficult to find. All the other central London stations are on big busy roads. Fenchurch Street is on a tiny side road, from one side its a narrow alley. Maybe they want to keep the trains clean so don't want people finding the station and making them all dirty.

Shaun The Pearly King at Liverpool Street Station. Very easy to find this one as he is just by one of the Central Line exits at Liverpool Street Station. There are quite a few exits at this station, but luckily I know the place well. Liverpool Street Station is all bright and modern now. I think I preferred it when it was all dark and old fashioned.

The third Shaun is 'The Gruffalo Shaun'. I found him near Piccadilly Circus. It's close to sunset, the sun setting behind me. I wasn't sure what a Gruffalo is, I thought he played the Hulk, its the right colour. Turns out its a monster from a childrens book. Why invent things when they can write about lovely real dragons?

Shaun in the City II

This Shaun is in Leicester Square next to Mossy Bottom in the previous post. He is called 'Woolly Jumbo' and looks like a plane. Even though he has wings, he can't fly. I suggested we have a race but he didn't accept. Well maybe they do work but he knew he couldn't beat a dragon at flying even with the engines fitted to him.

Shaun In The City I

The latest trail in London is Shaun in the City. It features Shaun the Sheep from Wallace and Gromit. This Shaun is 'Mossy Bottom' and is one of two in Leicester Square.
