Repainted mice!!!!!!

Cheers

Hip Hip Hooray is what I should say.  The Philpot Lane Mice are once again recognizable as mice.  Today as I was walking down Cheapside to catch a bus to the Geffrye Museum in Shoreditch, I stopped to check on the mice. Workmen at the site told me the mice had been repainted this past weekend.   I had written to the Canary Wharf Corporation as I’d been told they owned the building where the mice were located.  When I returned home today I found this email in my inbox.

Dear Mrs Johnson

Many thanks for your email addressed to Sir George Iacobescu regarding the above.

Please find attached a photograph of the restored mice and cheese, and thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope your will look out for the mice on your next visit to London.

So I wrote back…..

Dear Mr Heath-Richardson,

   I saw the mice today!   Thank you so much.  Our boat is berthed at Saint Katharine Docks Marina, not so far from the mice so everyone who visits us is taken to see the mice as well as the Monument to the Fire.  Now I have an additional story to tell.

   Thank you again, not only for painting the mice, but for taking the time to read my original email and then writing me telling me the happy ending of the story.

Mice before :  hard to see at a distance without the lower mouse’s tail painted brown.

The guys who told me how “I’d gotten the mice repainted.”  You can actually see the mice now.  They are between the two men on the right if you look on the edge of the building.
