Good idea. A pygmy hippopotamus isn't a crocodile or rhinoceros so we might get away with it!

Looking forward to @jonboden.bsky.social & @elizacarthy.bsky.social doing Wassail stuff on 15th Nov at Stamford Corn Exchange Theatre. I spent many happy hours as a child there as Mum was a regular performer. I never performed there and haven't even been back since I was 12, so it'll be emotional!
