Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends
Welcome to another BBHQ selfie extraordinaire. And today it was Melvyn's choice of where to visit as it's his birthday on Thursday, and we said dude, mew can go anywhere, but as he loves Camelot and Legends of King Arthur. He said, "I want to go back to Tintagel!"
So here's our epic selfie!
The B Team's King Arthur Selfie at Tintagel
Mew may notice that Smooch is sitting on Fudge's tail, he said, and I quote, "Dude, I didn't want to get a cold bum on the rocks!"
I can't repeat Fudge's reply, as we're a furmily friendly blog! MOL
We all love the Arthurian legends of old, and we're delighted when Melvyn chose to go back to Cornwall and indulge in a bit of fandom for the Great King Arthur!
The Gallos statue is 2.4m or 7ft 10" tall, therefore we did have to use a little photoshop wizardry so mew could actually see us! MOL
Here's a little bit of info from BBHQ's Historical Travel Guide, Smooch:
Greetings to all the history aficionados and travel enthusiasts out there!
Tintagel is a small village in Cornwall, England, and mew definitely want to add the Gallos King Arthur statue to your list of must-see attractions. This impressive bronze statue stands tall at the entrance of Tintagel Castle, which is said to be the birthplace of King Arthur.
The statue, created by sculptor Rubin Eynon, depicts King Arthur holding his legendary sword, Excalibur, with one hand and a shield with his coat of arms in the other. The intricate details of the armour and the facial expression of the statue truly capture the strength and bravery of this legendary dude.
As mew stand in front of the statue, mew can't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for the mythical king who, according to legend, fought bravely for his people and defended his kingdom against all odds. It's no wonder that Tintagel has become a popular destination for those interested in Arthurian mythology.
Whether mew're a die-hard fan of King Arthur or simply appreciate beautiful art, the Gallos King Arthur statue is definitely worth a visit. What an epically epic testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic dude and a reminder of the power of myth and legend to capture the imagination of generations.
This dude was truly EPICALLY EPIC, and The B Team does bow to his greatness!
Happy Trails

We're also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.
The effect was created with the ios Prisma App, and we used the effect:- Spring plus changes to shadows, then we added a vignette filter to darken the edges while keeping the brightness in the centre of the picture.
We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 7 mins 57 secs.
Just before we go, we want to answer The J-Cats question from last week's selfie, which was:
A propos stone circles, we were wondering what you think about those Nuts-Case Humans who sprayed Stonehenge with paint.
We find this blatant and wanton disregard for this Ancient Monument beyond reprehensible.
What the fluff did Stonehenge ever do to anypawdy? Purrhaps it was a case of let's try to ruin the Summer Solstice just because we can???
Anyhoo, it's time for us to go and start getting the Nip Nirvana Lounge ready for Melvyn's epic rave, and then we're going to spend the afternoon in the garden.
We do hope mew have an epic day and join us again on the morrow, when it may be Brain Training or it could be ManCat Monday! MOL
In the meantime ...
