Where are we going?
Can we find our way in?
The Saddest Tale
I found 33 out of 45 mermaids’ tails, nearly three quarters, then ran out of time, though some were way off my bus or walking routes anyway. Some people apparently snapped them all on the first day! There was plenty for children to do at the farewell event, from games to painting their own tails. The whole event must have taken a lot of planning and a lot of artists. The final part will see all the tails auctioned off.

Yes Liz it was quite stunning the first sight of that hall after trailing around solitary tails for weeks. A lot of clever people must have put this project together.

I love the idea of children painting their own tails! 🤣

You did so well finding so many of the tails. I think I only found three! Not that I looked very hard – I just happened upon those in my local area when we happened to be back in Bournemouth.
They are very beautiful and I am not surprised they were snapped up. I hope it gives the charities a huge boost.
Thank you for sharing!

These are always so inventive, and usually sell quickly for a good cause. When they had the elephants around Norwich, I was very tempted to bid on one. Until I realised I would need a crane to get it over the bungalow and into the back garden! 🐘
Best wishes, Pete.

Hello Pete, I wonder if we will see local front gardens displaying the tails. I also wonder how much they will go for as we have some seriously rich people in some parts.
