Bah!, rc toys, before I crippled myself my best friend and I used to fly microlights from one of the local farmers fields.
Some weekends we'd give the kids a free fly ride around the village, the looks on their faces afterwards was payment enough.

No doubt!!! As I get older I hate running in the rat race in the city/suburb environment. I long for a yard like that with neighbors not very close. The crickets and the birds are you symphony. The true sense of " living in the country".

Default Wednesday 15 April









We walked here on Wednesday... not far from our house... to about where the red X is, and my photo looks over toward the narrow finger of land which runs out into The Wash alongside The Haven... the artificially widened lower section of the tidal River Witham. This takes the big ships into the port of Boston

The area to the right of this sea bank is the edge of the saltmarsh... then it's the sea

Very near by is "Scotia Creek" the spot in the river where the Pilgrim Fathers made their first attempt to escape to the New World, before they were consigned for a while into Boston Gaol
