Reflections By The Brue

Having dutifully completed the census this morning, we started putting things back in the newly-decorated study /Sophie’s room. Still a bit of de-cluttering to do.

This afternoon we went for a walk on the banks of the River  Brue., where I took this photo. At about this spot, we got stopped by a passerby who recognised me as his former teacher back in the1980s. He tactfully told me I was looking well (I.e. he was surprised I was still alive and kicking!) and we enjoyed a pleasant few minutes of reminiscing. 

To be fair to him, it is more and more noticeable that the ex-pupils I meet these days seem to be as grey haired as I am (including today’s one) or have far less hair than me (for which I am of course grateful!) 

Yesterday’s sonic boom, by the way, was caused by a fireball meteorite making its way across the South West of the country. There was a photo of it in today’s papers as it passed over Jersey and it was heard across Devon, Dorset and Somerset as it nipped up the Bristol Channel.
