A pigeon at Swansea station



Touring is good ...
I am back home from Wales. It was nice, playing there. I was supposed to sing for a huge event : Leading National Welsh Anthem.
You know, or you don't know, Breton anthem is the same as welsh anthem.
The gig was in Pontypridd, nice venue, good audience.
I close my performance and an old man, asked me to come back. What the story ?
He discoursed for 5 minutes and offer me a heavy large medal ! What's that ?
It was a medal celebrating the welsh anthem, for me. Amazing ! Crazy !
I've never been in the army, I've never been a ceremony addict, but I was touched.
strange situation for a punk mind breton singer !

Day after, I left the city to visit my Swansea based friends. great nights, lot of fun, drinks, songs. Life !
I came back to Cardiff airport and waiting in Swansea station for 1 hour. It was a sunny day of june, warm. Teens were coming back home after the beach. And me, sitting on my bank, pigeons walking and pecking nothing on the floor. One of this pigeon had only one leg. maybe a fox cut it off ?

Back in Brittany, I was about 5 miles , there was a shoe on the roundabout. A big music festival was standing this WE here, so, someone lost a shoe at 7am maybe.
Two weeks after, the strange shoe was still there .
It came in my mind : "It's the Swansea one leg pigeon shoe"!
