Shaunientiering - Bristol -Part2

I suppose it was inevitable.
But the family enthusiasm for tramping around a city to find interestingly decorated statues of an animated Plasticine icon had been worn out by part 1 of our adventure.
So part two of this expedition around Bristol involved just two of us.  Thankfully Nicki is very tolerant of my beekeeping enthusiasm so when I said,
"There are four of them decorated in a beekeeping theme"
She said,
"Well lets plot a route to find those four and take in as many of the others as we can on route, we can please ourselves how long it takes and stopping for tea and cake along the way may be compulsory..."

So off we set...there were 70 in all, we were committed to finding four... here are the ones we found along the way....

Baa-wulf

Beach boy

King Arthur of Lambelot & Excalibaar

I don't remember bees in the books I read to my boys..but I'm not going to argue...

We drove past Tutti Fruitti (so no photos) on the way out to Clifton to find .....

Bumble

 

Rather surprised to find myself liking this pastel one quite as much as I do...

 

 

Then on to Cribbs causeway shopping centre to find...

Shrek Shaun

And some flocks of smaller Shauns decorated by local school children, some absolute crackers in this lot!

 

 

Did you spot it?
I couldn't possibly miss this one...

And finally, a fitting end to a hap-bee day shaunientiering.....

Bee-dazzled

 look at that sparkly bee nose!! and all over dazzling bee-tastic pattern!!!

One very happy, very hot and sticky and in desperate need of a cold drink bee-dazzled beekeeper...

Full kudos and appreciation to the non-Shaunientiering male family members who ensured that we arrived home to Bar-B-Q and ice-cream cake.  All of which was super yummy.

And for the record...I'm fairly sure I counted 32 found!
