It's Patrick wot won it.......

Wow, what a day. With the Scottish independence referendum count underway, we all stayed up all night, of course. OK, maybe we didn't stay up to hear the BBC Radio 4 reporting, more because we were underway out to sea and taking turns at the helm. However, the all night broadcast was what we listened to via the satellite dome as we trundled down the coast of Wales. Kind of ironic really.

Patrick of course was glued to the radio, hoping that his "Better together" campaign support would pay off (see the earlier post). He became most agitated when the Glasgow results "pro independence" were announced but calmed down when the result became clearer. His little furry face lit up when he heard the final outcome (or was that because it was dawn and some daylight was peeking through?)

He became even more smug than usual. Firstly, he waved this little picture in front of us that he had seen via Coralie:

We think that there was a message for us in there somehow. Still trying to work it out.

Shortly after David Cameron's rather predictable speech on the referendum result, the phone went. It was for Patrick. It was from David. According to Patrick, David rang to thank him for saving the union (and David's job perhaps?) It seems that his intervention and Bronwen's bark around worked wonders - turning 48% "no" votes into 55% rather quickly.

Do penguins qualify for an MBE? I hope so as Patrick fully expects his shortly. He is unbearable (or unpenguinable perhaps)

Why the title of this post? For the non UK readers, look at it's the sun wot won it
