Captain Hook

Walking my bricks yesterday afternoon, I came across a very long pole with a serious looking hook on the end. I thought probably left on the wrong side of the fence when the fencing people were putting back a neighbour's fence panel at the bottom of our back garden, that is to say the top of the back garden, as it actually runs uphill, a fence panel taken down in the storm we had a few weeks ago, noticed, for example, at reference 1.

Sadly, long enough to touch a hanger left in the neighbouring oak tree by the tree people in the autumn just past, but not long enough to dislodge it.

Now dismantled, in much the same way as drain rods, and awaiting return. Although I am not sure that the fence people would bother driving back for perhaps £30 worth of tool. Not worth their time.

But it might serve as a prop for a story for young people, all about how the famous Captain Hook wanted an extension, so that he could reach into ships he was pirating without having to bother to climb into them. It's certainly a serious and vicious looking hook.
