Today's image was taken on the way back from lunch at our local pub, The Chequers in Aylesford.
This was the first time we had managed to sit inside a pub since before the last lockdown - which must be over 6 months ago! I booked a table for lunch as my brother had had a very stressful week at work (I won't go into detail but let's just call it a reorganisation for the sake of it by his employers which is almost designed to make their employees' working life harder!). We enjoyed a couple of pints each, a warm scotch egg with triple cooked chips and a mozzarella and garlic flatbread. A slightly odd combination but utterly delicious!
We then took a stroll out to The Friars just as the sun broke through the clouds and sky turned an azure blue - it felt like the middle of summer.
On the way back home I wanted to get another colour image and spotted this red traffic cone and bright yellow board (apparently the official term is a footway board) covering a damaged drain cover. I really enjoyed the fact that it is manufactured by a company called Melba Swintex - great name -  (their website describes them as the world's leading manufacturer of temporary traffic management products) and that they are based in Ramsbottom (near Manchester).
The board can hold a maximum weight of up to 400 kg - about the same as a fully grown moose! I love a completely random fact!
