Perry at the Priory
In the summer of 2004 Pericles the Decoy Duck spent a month in The Priory to get over his worm and bird seed addiction.
This blog was originally set up to chronicle his experiences and the inevitable escape attempts.
However, it refuses to die.

Day 18
__
I've received another postcard. The handwriting's a bit wobbly but it's postmarked Athens and smells strongly of humous so I'm pretty sure it's from Sandi.It says "Greetings from the cradle of civilisation - bet you wish you were here".
She'd mentioned some time ago that she wanted see all the famous works of art they have in the Greek capital. I thought they were all in the British Museum.
Anyway, as luck would have it, she also says on the card that there's some big sporting event taking place there at present and so all the art galleries are empty.
There's no word yet from Tim. Maybe they don't let you send postcards from bicycle maintenance boot camp.
According to the caption on the back, the picture on Sandi's postcard is of the Acropolis. Personally I think I would have waited until they'd finished building it before I went.
