Over brekkie I watched
the last episode of “Lee and Dean”.
For a series that started well, the ending was rather odd. The last episode was
set in Great Yarmouth which (to my eyes)
looked incredibly like Margate.
I then sparked up my
lap-top. I really could not believe my eyes when I read the news this morning.
When Britain leaves the European Union, UK nationals travelling to EU countries
will probably need a visa. And that will cost. The Daily Mail were up in arms about the matter. The very people
who advocated the abolition of free movement round the EU aren’t happy to find
that abolishing free movement means movement will no longer be free.
So they don’t want what
they spent months trying to get? Have I ever mentioned that I don’t believe in
democracy?
We got ourselves and the
dogs together, and set off to Five Oaks Green where we met up with Karl, Tracey
and Charlotte. Together we went on a little wander round the area. There are
geocaches all over the place round there; we basically followed one series of
caches but taking little diversions here and there for church micros, village signs,
challenges and puzzles (and even mistakenly
rummaged in someone’s gas meter) as one does when much on one’s life is
spent hunting for film pots under rocks.
We had a rather good
walk as we usually do. We found several painted rocks. Treacle ate a dead frog,
and at one point we had to back-track as the footpath which once went between
two ponds was now under the water of one huge pond. We saw some very pretty
bluebells and apple blossom. We watched a heron take flight, and even got to
laugh at the local chavs. Whilst trying to impress or over-awe us with the
constant revving of their motorbikes, the idiot-er or the two chavs dropped his
bike. Fixing that won’t come cheap.
It was a rather scenic
walk. I even took
a few photos.
After eleven miles we adjourned
to the Queen’s Head for a couple of pints of Doom Bar and some crisps. Diets can
be slightly relaxed after eleven miles.
I slept for much of the
drive home.
We did fifty caches
today. I spent the evening plotting out a slightly longer walk..
