Evening SuperForesters!
I couldn’t resist sharing with you what is at the very least a contender for Best. News Story. Ever.
Yes, let’s savour that headline one more time: Dick Van Dyke, Saved by Porpoises.
Artists impression
The Guardian reports that the 84 year old star of Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and, of course, Diagnosis: Murder, was rescued by a pod of porpoises after dozing off while out paddling on his surfboard:
“I woke up out of sight of land,” the 84-year-old actor told Craig Ferguson on his TV chat show. “I started paddling with the swells and I started seeing fins swimming around me and I thought ‘I’m dead!’
Van Dyke was wrong. “They turned out to be porpoises,” he said. “And they pushed me all the way to shore.”
Say it with me now, in your best worst “cockney” accent:
Gawd bless you, Mary Porpoise!
Love
