Swan Song

As we’d had a day out, I’d decided that it would be fitting to end it with dinner and ice cream. We’d managed to squeeze into a corner at the Hopwood House for a big pub dinner which was served quite quickly considering how busy it was. But for dessert we’d decided to get our ice cream from McDonald's. After passing through the local drive-thru, the best place to eat ice cream was at the council’s municipal lake. It was great just to walk around eating our ice cream outside like we were on holiday. We came to the docks which is a traditional spot to feed the ducks, and the ends were heavily fenced off to stop people fishing. The wildlife here can be quite vicious, and it’s a great theatre for bread battles.  Consequently, that was where all the fish were hiding, which also made it a great spot for the swans to gather to earn their dinner.
