Sunday 2nd April 2023

I see that the caravan season has started. I was on the bus going up Devises Road towards parents, and I saw 2 white caravans coming down from the direction of Bemerton Heath.

There's huge delays at Dover apparently. Tourists are trying to get to France for the Easter break, immigrants are trying to get over here in un-sailable boats. The PM says he's going to stop the Illegal boat crossings, Good luck to him on that one.

I watched the 2nd series of Great Expectations, some of it was filmed at a big house in cathedral close. They have done filming there before, The actor Robert Hardy was there last year. The house is next door to our museum, They probably had to close the entire section of the close just to do the filming.

I keep snorting just as I'm about to fall asleep in bed, It's really annoying because it happened at quarter past midnight!

Sometimes when I'm in bed at night and I Can't sleep, I think I hear a long haul flight going over the house on its way to and from London. I listen to the distant engine as it fades across the night sky into silence. 

The flight path crosses Bemerton Heath, mum says the sky above the estate in the morning Looks like a checkerboard. The planes that leave Heathrow,  go to JFK Airport. 

While I've been in Newquay I've seen them crossing across Fistro beach far up in the Sky and out towards the Atlantic. 

I was at a peaceful spot by a tin mine once at St Mawes, I couldn't hear a thing: apart from the gulls & the occasional cow or sheep in the field nearby. You could say I got a glimpse Of what it would have been like before the invention of the car. 

Then a long haul plane flew overhead, and I could clearly hear the engine rumbling in the silence. I was thinking to myself, there's people walking about in that plane up there totally oblivious to one person watching them flying overhead.
