Abandoned Boot (PiP)

Abandoned Boot (PiP)
I took this photo on the Isle of Whithorn. The lone boot standing proudly on the beach made me smile.
Wonder what happened to th other one!

The link here is Eric Church's 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' (Apologies!)

Also - a little tongue in cheek, - Danny and the Juniors and 'At the hop'

If it had been in Burnham I could have understood...with the mud! Someone will have one wet foot no doubt ;-))

Ecobird club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
You are not wrong there Rosa!! At least it will have been better than the thick Burnham mud oozing between his toes!! Yuk! It gave me a smile anyway. It does leave you wondering though.... Many thanks and have a lovely evening

I don't mind if you had to stand it up Carol - it is still an excellent find and shot !!
5 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Jeff Farley
Good evening and many thanks Jeff. Really appreciated. I didn't have to stand it up, - in fact we didn't even go onto the beach. It was just left there as if someone, maybe a fisherman, just stepped out of it and kept on walking!! Maybe some guy stopped off in a pub the night before and had a few too many drinks, lost their boot and couldn't find their way back into it so left it!! A bit like the seaside equivalent of not being able to put your key in the lock! Maybe....the possibilities are endless. Intriguing but I found it funny! Enjoy the rest of your week

Surplus to requirement for a peg legged pirate.
5 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Jean
Ha-ha! Thank you very much Jean. I did look around for a suitable candidate but no luck! Perhaps it belongs to a drunken sailor who didn't realise it was gone. He will have been mending socks instead of nets the next day!!

Think I may have the answer Jean - it might be Jake the Peg's spare!!

Ecobird club has replied to RHH
Good evening and many thanks Ron. Really appreciated. Ha-ha! You could be right there.I wondered if the owner had stopped off at the pub and had a few drinks then lost his boot but couldn't get it back on so left it there! It made me smile though!

Hi Carol,

Great find. I do wonder why only one.. Perhaps it relates to the quiet man in your HFF picture.

Best Wishes, and a good weekend,
Peter

Ecobird club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Good evening and many thanks Peter. Really appreciated. So did I! I looked around but couldn't see anyone wearing one boot and with one wet foot! I don't think they belong to the quiet man - it would take some effort to prise his off! Lol! Enjoy the rest of your week. Best wishes Carol

Well if there had been a welly boot throwing competition in the area this may well have been the winner.

Ecobird club has replied to HappySnapper
Ha-ha! A lovely thought Maurice. I can't imagine how anyone could have not noticed it was gone - unless of course it was Jake the Peg's spare boot!

Ecobird club has replied to Rainer Blankermann club
Good evening and many thanks Rainer. Really appreciated. It is quite changeable here - some good days and some bad. I hope the owner of this boot didn't need his boots again in a hurry!
Enjoy the rest of your week and I hope the sun shines for you!

Ah the wellington boot mystery, no footprints or should it be footprint? nor a crutch mark so it must have just dropped in from above, look out for a large Seagull with only one boot on !
5 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Ha-ha! I always duck when there is a seagull overhead, - with or without missiles! Many thanks Roger. Really appreciated. I may just have found an answer to the mystery. It is Jake the Peg's spare!
