Things That Gladden The Heart

Can’t beat the Red Arrows in formation, smoke on. Seen them a number of times flying down The Mall towards Buckingham Palace; the pleasure never diminishes.

On the mother and baby front, we went out on the Bay of Fundy on Friday, the skipper’s last find of the day was Pierce, a female Humpback with this year’s calf. Chalk one off of Mrs. BiM’s bucket list.

Wow that must have been an amazing sight - nature at its best.
 
Sitting the car last Sunday waiting with the dog waiting for wor lass to return with a little shopping, I spotted an old couple walking down the path, they must have been well into their 80's maybe even 90's, he had his Sunday best on, suit, shirt, tie, polished shoes and a Panama hat, she was all dressed up as well, wasn't till they got a little closer I saw they were holding hands, obviously still very much in love, chatting away to each other and others they passed a wonderful sight.
 
Seeing a very young cat with her 5 kittens feeding at our back door. She gave birth in an empty house just up the road about 3 weeks ago, with lots of yowling. Various neighbours are looking out for them. There's several houses putting water out, which is essential in the 35* heat we're experiencing.
 
The wife and I being able to take a train from Perranwell in Cornwall to Falmouth (4 stops) for, what works out to, £1.05 each way, each. Free car park at the station too. Last week going to London from home, parking in the car park cost £7.

Walking the dog round lullingstone golf course at 6 am this morning and getting to see a beautiful barn owl out looking for his breakfast
 
My lad who is a class 1 Lorry driver, drove under a bridge yesterday morning early hours. Saw a guy climbing over a railing with a rope tied around said railings. Turned Lorry round at next roundabout and went back. Called the police and went up to guy, talked to him and give him a 16 stone bear hug to stop him jumping. Police came and all ended well. Don't know if he saved his life or not but made me and Missis T feel as proud as punch.

Missis T is sticking her chest out at the moment, bit like when tricky Trev drops in a birdie putt. Me, Missis T and daughter who's a firearms copper went out for Father's Day meal in town a couple of weeks ago. I went to the lavvy and she went to the newsagents to buy some water and goodies for some homeless folk who had got down in a shop doorway for the night.

Your lad could have stopped a lot of people getting a terrible phone call.

Absolutely...

Well done to Tashy Jnr... A thoroughly decent act... Whether he saved a life is neither here nor there... But the fact he stopped and took action where many others would've chosen to ignore the situation... A credit to Mum and Dad...
