[livejournal.com profile] hendybear, I forgot to show you this at the weekend:

I was at Bromyard festival a week or so ago. It was very cold. People had warned me that it would be very cold at Bromyard, and I didn't really believe them, what with it being a bit left of Worcester rather than in the Arctic Circle. They were, however, right.

Anyway, while in Bromyard I saw the Bristol Morris Men. They're a team I'm not familiar with, and I was intrigued to note that they all wear the seal of Bristol on their baldricks:



Since (despite it being, overall, very cold) it was very hot at the point I first noticed this, I was concerned that they might melt. Apparently it's a resin cast, however, not proper sealing wax.

Later in the day, I bumped into their musician.

I dunno, I can't tell the difference. Except sea lions are bigger.

The bloke wearing insisted it was the Seal of Longleat, whose photo he'd taken. Mind you, since Longleat is famous for its lions maybe it was a joke I didn't get.

Sea Lions aren't bigger. They may be bigger than Common Seals, but Grey Seals grow to about 3m (10ft). The giants of the type are Elephant Seals and the Walrus.
