Change of plan our day out had now turned into a 1/2day trip out to Bakewell. Sat waiting for the bus with Charlie sat at my feet. Looking forward to his next nap once the bus comes.

I like Bakewell, especially early morning or when it's quiet..

Second coffee has been had, hair has been clippered and carpets vacuumed.
All that's left is to decide whether to walk or bike into town to get a birthday card for my step niece.

And just like in Tenerife, the main problem isn't caused by the tourists but the greed of the wealthy who own the businesses and accommodation wanting to make more and more money from tourism, with the locals pushed out of the way.

Here the accommodation problem is those who own multiple houses but only for short term rent to touroid. In addition there are now multiple food providers and the FB pages are dominated by photos of more and more fancy dishes at fancy prices.
The holiday house nearest to me is owned by somebody who does not live here and only comes every few months to check it over. He has been causing us problems for a long time by misusing a back gate which got retrospective planning permission despite local objections.

Cool and overcast here chez Casa Reynard, but the sun is showing signs of wanting to break through the cloud.

Slept OK - not as well as I'd have liked. I am rather stiff after driving for so long yesterday, even though I did have a nice walk down by the river before tackling the return leg. While stuck in traffic near Heathrow on the outward leg, I got to see an A380 taking off. Blimey, those things are huge.

I have not done much this morning other than going through the photos I took yesterday and putting away all my stuff. I just need to retrieve my coat, walking boots and track pump from the car.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

Peter Watkins did such a fine job of Culloden, the BBC hired him to make a film about the effects on Britain of nuclear war. The War Game makes Threads look like a Disney movie.

Threads got a mention on the telly again last night.
Each time anyone refers to it I think to myself "I don't have any recollection of it, and I think I would have remembered that sort of thing", so this morning I looked it up on Wikipedia, and then dug out my diary. I was out on 23.9.84, so that explains that.
I saw The War Game though, in a private screening a decade or so before they lifted the ban on public broadcast.

Lovely luncheon of a sub roll (metro roll from Aldi - lovely, would definitely recommend) filled with cold roast beef and red leicester cheese, plus a pear, an orange and two

Did some gardening, and now watching Repair Shop while pootling about doing computery stuff.

I have decided a lot of car drivers are utter to55ers

Chucked a load of towels in to wash and decided to bike into town while the machine did its thing. Very windy and with some of that fine misty rain thrown in as well. It's now sunny so the towels are drying nicely in the wind on the whirlygig.
On the bright side I did see a police car pull over a youth riding an e-scooter in Felixstowe and may have muttered words to the effect of "just seize it and crush it" under my breath as I passed.

I have no issues with them being ridden on roads. Better there than pavements.
