Sorry User 4549. GIve your dog a hug from me! Does he have one eye too? I hope not because then he'll know that the poem was not directed at him.
On the subject of edible things, and I know it's not in Dawlish, there's a talk tonight at the Science Cafe in Teignmouth (The Oystercatcher) on the subject of insects you can eat. Apparently there'll be a cricket stir-fry to try. Useful to know when there's only us and insects left on the world (+ plants of course).
