Err, Pony on the Strand. PONY ON THE STRAND.

04.19.2012 by She Loves London // 3 Comments

There’s a problem with taking a few days holiday from work.

It’s not the morning fatigue after a couple of lie-ins, nor is it the bulging inbox that greets you on your return.

It’s getting into work and discovering that on the day you weren’t there, a pony wearing a green raincoat went down the pavement on the Strand.

There's a pony. On the Strand.

You can just imagine the talk on the Northern Line that morning.

“What’s that you got there?”

“What? Oh! This? I’m just taking my pony for a walk. On the Strand. He was getting a little bored in his stable of dreams.”

The image and heads up both come courtesy of @HoareTom.

If you’ve seen anything better than that on a pavement in London, please feel free to make me jealous below.
