And those fish on the wall? We have a very large-mouthed trout on the wall at the cottage - victim of a course in Taxidermy hubby and I took way back when. Ugly as sin, dust-catching and useful mainly as a reminder that some things should be done by experts. And the experts now don't even make the wall-fish out of the original one in any way. They are made from a mould of the original fish in man-made materials.
*heads back to Pike Bay for the last gasp of summer before the youngsters need to be returned to school*
