Waste Not, Want Not

Nigel seems to been on a bit of finding streak at the moment …..  mostly he is finding things that you might expect to find when out for a stroll or on the school run, things like hats or the odd single glove or two ……….
……. but yesterday he stumbled upon a perfect red pepper. Now he’s found the occasional fallen apple or plum and once a half eaten banana  …… but never a perfectly formed pepper.
And its finding put him in quite a quandary, what should he do, there was nothing wrong with it, in fact it looked better than some he’d seen in the supermarket. There wasn’t really anywhere to put it safe and visible in case the owner came out looking for it. Should he just pick it up and take it home?  Would that be technically “stealing”?  He didn’t really want to risk prison for a pepper related offence.
In the end, after much inner debate and soul searching he chose the later option presenting it to Darrell on his return to The Towers, who in turn decided to simply but flavoursomely stuff it just for Nigel. Lets just say it went down a treat without conscience.  Good call Nigel!!!

You can't beat a good stuffing.

Well I think that was ok, not exactly food that the birds would eat, or even a little mouse would eat. But stuffed by Darrell? Now you're talking a la cart. JantheFan x
