30 August (Part 1) - Excuses, excuses
My
morning blogging session was interrupted by what I at first thought was an
unsilenced lawnmower in an adjacent garden, but it turned out to be a helicopter
right overhead. I watched it descend behind the trees of Lesnes Abbey park
and followed it, camera in hand.
In the event the chopper was not required. An ambulance was outside a house in nearby
Elstree Gardens and reports were that the police had blocked the road. I wasted
an hour waiting for the chopper to take off again but the height of excitement was two
medics and two flight crew drinking coffee.
A couple of children seemed to think it was the latest addition to the
playground. The first photograph shows its situation, the early morning sun made
photography in that direction difficult but the larger version provides a better
view. For a closer look inside the cockpit,

Normal blogging activity will restart in an hour or two.
