We've seen it all today, I reckon. Groombridge Place has some sort of Alice in Wonderland thing going today, leading to traffic queues down the hill into the village. Tricky, when you come round a bend to be faced with a stationary van. Trickier still when you find yourself, emergency stop later, being borne down on by a Range Rover. No contact, fortunately! At least the crawl down the hill allowed us a good look at our friend Adam the zedonk in the field to the left. A cross between a zebra and a donkey, he has a zebra's build, mostly a grey donkey's colouring, and striped legs. He spends his days grazing the field behind Groombridge Place in the company of a donkey and a Shetland pony.
Lots of cyclists out enjoying the good weather, and not a few groups of people strolling the lanes on foot or on horseback. Roller skaters galore, and a sighting of our local caped crusader on his electric unicycle, a local vigilante who bops around the town in tights, cape, fake six-pack, mask and hood, ticking off arrogant cyclists who jump red lights, drivers who use mobile phones, etc. And it isn't me. (And his unicycle isn't legal.)
Fine enough again today to barbecue the lunchtime Nürnbergers. After lunch we sat outside for a while until the sun got too hot for us. Back to Bank Holiday grey and damp tomorrow, we gather.
