Swans.

I am not an animal person, anyway. But I have a particular hatred for swans, and donkeys (that's another story..).

Whilst we were on holiday last Easter (the same Go Ape one), we went boating, on a nice lake.

I am not particularly brilliant at rowing, it involves coordination. So, it was incredibly difficult to not crash into anything, or fall over the weir (a particular hazard.)

So, we were just casually rowing, when a massive swan came up to us, and took a nice interest in our rower.. what's it called.. paddle! Is that it? Anyway. So, it liked that, and kept trying to eat it. And all the while we only had one OAR! It's an oar! Yes? Anyway. Oar. And we were just going in circles, each time getting closer and closer to the side, and a large tree. So, we tried to make it go away, and eventually we succeeded, but then it just came around the other side of our boat, and started eating me.

So, our problems weren't solved, I couldn't paddle because this massive swan was eating my coat, and I was terrified. Because I'm silly.

I think after that, even though we'd paid for about half an hour to an hour, we got out early. We couldn't take anymore excitement.

Anyway. I know they're the Queen's animals, and you can't kill them. I didn't!

I just don't go near swans nomore.
