Slowly, slowly, catchee... one day it'll be the Muur...
We sat outside enjoying proper good Flemish pub grub (and yes, a beer or two was had) but as we were finishing, a thunderstorm was brewing.
We rattled back along the canal at an unbelievable lick in the gathering gloom, Mrs Bomp was literally flamme rouge with our only light while I towed the pack along (although the wind did start to get up behind us). Bomp jr & Bompette, aged about 10 and 8 if I remember right, managed to hold very close to 20mph for most of the way back: and the first fat raindrops fell just as we turned into the campsite entrance - five minutes later it was monsoon, and close lightning strikes too.

Mustard mit to a snigger here. Mrs BBGeek is a sailor, and has always worn her sunnies on her head when not on the water. Lately she’s needed other glasses for short work, and put them on her head on top of the sunglasses. When she can’t find both ( or either ) is kind of funny. She has been known to sleep in her sunglasses before.
I think one year they never left her head. Beat that, Froome.Ecrasez l’infame0 -

I got that, although assumed it was overactive predictive text. Can't decide whether a mustard mit is something out of the Lakeland catalogue or something available on very niche websites.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Tommy Robinson also released "Glad To Be Gay" on the follow up EP too of course, so he can't be all that right wing.0 -
