Mousehole is a small fishing village in the south west of England, in Cornwall. See header!
The Mousehole Cat is based on an old Cornish legend. It tells the story of Tom Bawcock through the eyes of his cat, Mowzer. One winter, the great Storm Cat comes snarling and leaping at the harbour walls so that no boat can go out to fish. When all the food in the village is gone, Tom decides he must brave the terrible weather. As they sail into the mountainous seas, Mowzer sings a lullaby to calm the great Storm Cat of the sea. Tom catches enough fish to feed the entire village. And to this day the people of Mousehole hold a procession and feast every Christmas in memory of brave Tom Bawcock.

Chère Reader Will
je suis toujours très heureuse de vos visites et de vos commentaires ./
Bonne pause , j'espère que vous aurez beau temps.
Thanks Reader Wil, I had computer trouble and couldn't reply you last night.
You are absolutely right, there are no snakes in NEw Zealand. There are no snakes in Ireland too. So if you like the great ourdoors, and go tramping, you can sleep in peace at night.
I forgot to mention my nephew lives in Brisbane Australia. Over there, there are lots of snakes. It is our family joke that the SPCA woman will release the snake in a bush nearby and it will come again.
Traditionally, (I don't any more) my family eat snakes. It would have been better if my nephew got someone in the family to catch it for the pot. That would be the end of his snake troubles.
Oh Yes, the snake is a python, and it is edible. Snake meat is white and to the unknown and unsuspecting eye and palate, the taste like chicken.
The poor animal was a rather big possum. Some people in Australia are funny, they let possums live in their attic. No wonder snakes come to the house.
Yes, King Bhumipol is still the King of Thailand, and a well loved one.
They had another festival yesterday in the Rocket park across my church. The traffic jam is horrendous. Many of them park in my church car park. I didn't go to visit as they have been having these festivals quite frequently.
very nice p0st.have a w0ndful day ahead.
What a lovely story. Thank you :)
