The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch
Every day, Mr Grinling rows out to the lighthouse to make sure everything is running smoothly and every day his wife, through the use of a rather ingenious cable system, sends him his rather lavish lunch (peach surprise and a killer sandwich among other things). That is until some well-named gulls see an opportunity for a free meal and begin to hijack the parcel. The presentation of the illustrations are a little odd in choice - some slightly blurry close-ups and odd angles but the Hamish's expression had me in stitches throughout and I cannot but admit that I was smitten by the seagulls who seem to have popped off the old 'oh err missus postcards of the 1930s. Such is life! as Mr. Grinling muses at the end.
