Locked down ... empty town ... Brave New World

My first car was definitely female............

Tenby was very wet that August 1962.........

a tangerine sky...........

They've started calling me 'elderly'

Things are going smoothly ... Then something happens

It's a freedom ...

We tried to win the tournament, but last year we came bottom.

Lady Mimram lies sprawled over many miles

Down at the Dumpster late one night ....

Something in the act of being born

Each day as I venture into the beautiful countryside round Tewin

I was brought up in the heart of the countryside in North Staffordshire

There are many assortments of beautiful peoples

I drove into town ... a glass sided office block

... Of pastures new and things to do

I can pedal and push for as long as I like

The River Mimram is born from chalk

Almost there, almost steady.

.. Triage, e-consult, Skype and Zoom ...

... my heart is in picturesque Tewin

♪ … those were the days my friend ♫
