For ten years now Settle has hosted it very own, perhaps unique, Settle Flowerpot Festival. It was astonishing from the outset and has got bigger and bigger every year since during July and August. One of the very first flowerpot creations was Plantpotasaurus (PPA)which has been an annual favourite wherever it has appeared.
Because of its size there aren't too many possible locations for it. This year though, it's at the water tower! This should be a good location for PPA as it will be among the first creations to be seen in town by visitors by train. The water crane provides a very solid stand for it and being in a fenced private garden is is less vulnerable to attack. When in more accessible locations drunks have been tempted to sit on PPA, resulting in visits to plantpotospital from time to time.
The plant pot dinosaur is already attracting a good deal of (favourable) attention. After some thought we have decided that from now, henceforth and until the end of August he (or she) will be known as Trainosaurus Rex.
