Last day

Last day of a wonderful spell of weather and perfectly timed for Nogbad's week's visit to Munich - tonight his last night and today he and the family took the short trip out to Dachau and the concentration camp. He and I first did this horrifying and educational trip over 27 years ago. It heartens me that his daughter Rowan had specifically wanted to include this in the places to visit. Our young are possibly far more advanced than many of us oldies, being able to use the past to show them where the future should go, but not hankering on the past to promote prejudices in the present.

With the sun blasting down, I did manage a dip in the pool but 15 minutes before Big Ben silently showed 6:00 pm, I was off on the tractor to mow a field. The lack of straight lines and the appearance of a triangle were not caused by alcohol. That happened afterwards as it was by then Pimms o'clock. The storm started shortly afterwards.
