GoGo Hares

Introducing the GoGo hares – worthy heirs to the elephants and dragons that preceded them.

INTRODUCTION

The charity Break have established something a tradition involving large painted fibreglass animals – it started with elephants, then dragons, and now for a third installment we have hares. This year they are looking beyond Norwich – there is one in Fakenham, which I saw on Friday, there is one in Dereham which I saw through the windows of the ExCel bus travelling to and from the auction that my employers had in the fine city of Norwich yesterday and there are a load of them distributed around Norwich, some of which I captured on camera.

The late legendary Richard Whiteley would probably have described this as a hare-tigger (he specialised in this kind of pun).
