Days 15,16 & 17 – What instrument do you play? . . .

Are you a trombonist? Trumping a la Jimmy Edwards? Or a squeeky trumpeteer like Roy Castle? It’s one of those things we all do. Secretly or not. Controlled or uncontrolled. Sneakily or blatantly. With or without embarrassment. Loud or quiet. Long or short. Always bound to create a reaction; a titter; a raised eyebrow – depending on whose closest. Nearest & dearest, or stranger. If it happens to be an SBD, then it’s best to be alone, or vacate the place of your deed ASAP, or take on the look of an accuser!

If you type a question into Google and it has the answer, then someone must have asked that question before you. For example; Q: Are farts heavier or lighter than air? And of course the answer leads you onto another interesting question. If lighter, then once expunged does that mean you’ve immediately gained weight?

Of course, at our time of life we have to ensure they don’t become our nemesis.

Hall Place House & Gardens, Bexley. A beautiful spot. It’s another hot bluey. A no excuse day to Scoot over and take a looksee. A couple of phut-phuts, on our very own phut-phut. We do just that. Families galore making the most. Great to see.

The gardens are also home to the Queen’s ‘topiary’ Beasts. Planted at the time, to commemorate her coronation.

Quick! Run before they get you . . .
Griffin – my favourite
A couple of ex-Beasties
A delightful mix of formal and informal

Our three night stay at Abbey Wood in London, an oasis in itself. Scooting around we find many green areas. We choose Joyden’s Wood for today’s gambit. A planted ancient wood of stunning beauty.

A tribute to Ian James Muirhead, who survived being shot down in 1940. His Hawker Hurricane crashing into these woods. He was sadly killed in action two weeks later.

Two consequitive days out on Scoot without getting lost – a record. It’s thanks to my new AFTERSHOKZ bluetooth headphones. A tight fit under my helmet, but worth it when linked to MAPS.

Bone shakingly effective

  1. Have only recently realised you are ‘out and about on safari’ once again. So have just had a ‘2-cheeses’ feast reading the story so far! Great stuff…and I’m so glad you now have (better) technology to hear MAPS…
