TODAY I WAS FILMING IN COVENTRY ( BUSES)

Greetings folks, familiy,friends, customers wherever you may be. Our Dear Leader May Blossom Blessings be upon her,  is in a tissy today with the London attack yesterday. Bodes not well for transport photographers as the back lash from the bus bombing was a clamp down on ordinary life, years of hassle. They say everything should go on as normal but it never gets back to where it started. Next they'll be wanting to give all the police guns, I don't think all the guns in the world would have stopped the killer stabbing the cop yesterday , at close range and a sudden action I doubt if he could have drawn a weapon. Anyway lets return to what passes for ordinary in my mad world, Mandy actually managed to shower this morning without my help and I went off down to Coventry, I took the toll road as the M6 was blocked by accidents, what's new there then.

On the way home the M6 was blocked by accidents, what's new there then - yes it's ground hog day but true. Coming back up I swapped over to the A50, usual black hole territory in road work areas and hows not having a hard shoulder for safety going to help matters. It was partly sunny, nothing interesting in the bus fleets but with one exception very friendly drivers, must have been a Pole. Certainly most of the West Midlands ethnic communities are hard at work driving national Express buses although there were still a lot of MBO's kicking around Coventry, I think they are that isolated from Britain that they don't even realise what an insult it is to the Brits, especially after yesterday.

The interesting bit was an extended look at a Stagecoach breakdown recovery which happened towards the end of my visit and made for some good shots. This evening photos from of course Coventry. A landslide of orders today, DVDs and films, I'm going to be busy this evening and tomorrow we are at the Polio Fellowship collection on the Wirral. The lamps for St Oswalds arrived and I took them round to the church. Saturday we'll be at Boyle St Museum in Manchester.
