Doing It in Front of Others

I like the May Bank Holidays.  There’s a whole load of crazy shit that goes on, morris dancers, blacking up, cheese rolling, dancing round a pole (not a polish man!) (although that wouldn’t surprise me), people jumping off bridges and a whole host of other wacky shit.  The pagans were a right fun bunch and then when the Christians came and tried to Christianise the festivals they made them miserable, Wankers!

Today we took the train to Ramsbottom.  Darwin seemed a little more aware of his surroundings today and enjoyed looking out of the window as the train tooted along and once again we rode for free!  It was a Thomas the Tank Engine day today and the train was full of kids. 

This holds a tiny bit of guilt for Kerry and I as one time we were walking the route along the railway and we decided to have a bit of “rumpy pumpy”.  We got off the beaten track and on the railway siding we got down to it.  We heard the train coming but didn’t fret, indeed a little exhibitionism added to the excitement, but how were we to know it was Thomas the Tank Engine day?  We were expecting the train to whizz past and possibly someone may see us and think, “Was that 2 people just... no it couldn’t have been”, not for the train to simply plod past filled with kids waving out of the window.

We took a slow walk back.  Darwin occasionally likes to ride on the back of his trike chariot style but I don’t think he’s quite ready for it yet.  Last time his feet got in the way of the wheels and this time he fell off into a muddy puddle.  Once we cleaned him up he was fine and we stopped by the swings to cheer him up on the way back.  He fell asleep in his bike on the way back.
