Pogoing about!

Hetty wanted a pogo stick for her birthday so Marlane has been searching around. She found this one, absolutely spanking new condition and I just had to go and pick it up.
When I got home they all went mad wanting to have a go. I'm glad to say that no bones have been broken, yet! I had one jump on it to test the spring, it's very powerful and was surprised when Bella seemed to hit it off straight away with her technique. They all just need to address the balance as I and Marlane had to hold the Pogo to stop them falling over.
The journey to pick it up was interesting. It was in the area of Painswick village, one of those incredibly beautiful Cotswold villages. Only 15 minutes away but it took me slightly longer due to the miniscule, very narrow, roads to get to the house. I didn't see anything of the village itself, although I've passed through a few times in the past. This place was not even on the outskirts, see where the three pink dots are in the Extra, plus it was pitch black as there was no street lighting in the area. 
A beautiful place to live though, and the houses in the area were all made of that lovely, yellow, Cotswold stone.
I couldn't turn round at all so had to reverse about 50 yards. Thank goodness for the reversing alarm because I couldn't see a thing behind me despite the reversing light.
