No One At All

Today I spent several pleasant hours in the saddle pedalling around the Warwickshire countryside gazing at LooseCanon's rear view. Sometimes plodding along just in front of me, sometimes disappearing into the distance, mainly on hills where he finds my glacially slow pace difficult to match and has to go on ahead.

We went to Packwood House, a National Trust property to have some lunch and wander around the gardens looking for suitable Bliportunities.

Packwood is famous for its garden of clipped Yew trees said to represent the Sermon on the Mount and the twelve Apostles. This picture is taken from the'Mount' at the top of the garden and was one of the few pictures I managed to get with no people in it. Tricky on a sunny Sunday.

Anyone with a fondness for Nineties music might remember that the Yew Trees enjoyed fame by being featured on the album cover of One From The Modern by Ocean Colour Scene.

Just a thought.
The National Trust prides itself on being green and Eco friendly and all that so we wondered why their new visitor centre has
1 No bicycle racks, and
2 Ludicrously overpackaged sandwiches, wrapped in plastic film,a paper bag with a plastic window in it, and a big piece of hard plastic in the bag to keep it upright, when they are made freshly on the premises and travel probably a maximum of about a hundred metres from kitchen to stomach.
