Today I was down at the bus station by about 7.45, it was really hectic with school services and the morning rush hour. The light was spot on and no hassles, met a couple of other bus enthusiasts out for an early trawl. What a difference a year makes yet there still seemed to be quite a good variety. Everywhere I went today had buses new to me so it wasn't at all a wasted trip and with clear blue skies all the time it was spot on. I got wrapped up at Canterbury very quickly and made my way to Chatham, it wasn't hectic but enough new buses and variety to keep me amused and I didn't take that long to get all the film I needed and then off once more this time to Maidstone. It was like watching paint dry at times, I really had a job getting the footage, it just isn't very busy there unlike all the other destinations so far this week but you can only get what there is. A couple of fairly pissed up dossers gave me a bit of chew by the memorial, I can't say that Maidstone does much for me, Chatham might be rough around the edges but at least it usually friendly. It is surprising how much poverty there is even in the supposed affluent south east. I know you are really just waiting for some pictures and i want another drink and a spot of telly before bed so here we go at the start yesterday in Brighton.
Greeting, I'm back in Lower Peover for one night then back on the road heading down to the Isle of Wight. The weather has been superb, I've not seen a forecast for Friday/Saturday and nor have I booked a hotel but I need to get the film and DVD orders shifted tomorrow and tidy the garden. I made a brew when I came indoors then opened the emails,. the tea was nearly cold when I got back to it. I found a rrally nice gastro pub with superb internet connection last night and when I got back their ale had a wonderful effect on sending me to sleep and I didn't hear the traffic at all. The temperature started to soar this afternoon, 28 in Maidstone then 29 around the M25 and out as far as High Wycombe. I didn't leave Maidstone until 3.45 which meant I got stuck in the afternoon rush hour but other than that is wasn't a bad run up. I've fed the birds, downloaded the DVD orders and responded to most of the emails.
