Public nuisance

Having recently acquired a discarded dandy horse from a house clearance off the Old Kent Road, Jean Floret de Cauliflower is quite the man about town. At least, his own frisky imagination tells him so.

However, this past week he has consistently upset every innocent pedestrian and skittish filly in Bermondsey.

Perhaps it is just as well that his wreckless behaviour may soon be brought to a dramatic finale. The work of our tiny but destructive foe Anobium Punctatum - the common furniture beetle - has gone entirely unnoticed by Jean. The relentless efforts of this miniature pest will surely result in his wooden steed disintegrating in a most undignified manner forcing a swift conclusion to his irksome escapades.

I do not like posting where I can say nothing to add or help so I will not post, "Exceptionally clever and original.  Wow!"

 Stern stuff, especially around the bedroom furniture area I would imagine!

Thank you. He’s cobbled together out of bits of figures. The tails of his coat are brass foil which disguises the joints between each leg and the body quite well

Excellent! I'm jealous, it looks fun :)

 

Good photography too, I bet the camera had focusing challenges.
