The Return of Nibbler

You may remember Nibbler the Gribble (see earlier March blog) - the extraordinary Pier-eating (that's pier-eating not pie-eating) crustacean so dear to our hearts and so very relevant to some of our current work in Yarmouth. Well, sadly he got squashed. But, our grief has been lessened by the arrival of the magnificent Nibbler 2 - a harder, tougher and more durable specimen all round. Thanks to Nigel George of Ecclestone George once again for his marvellous modelling skills. Nibbler 2 is off to Yarmouth Primary School to be painted and will live out the rest of his days as an educational icon and inspiration to the young people of the Island. The only thing is that, presumably as a response to the sad fate of its predecessor (see Rupert Sheldrake's theory of Morphic Resonance for the science behind this phenomenon) Nibbler 2 is now a lot fiercer and has to be kept in a sealed box at the moment. We're hoping he might mellow.
