Always a surprise

The people you meet in the park

Just one day after I saw a young lady making a complete tour of the large lake in Angrignon Park, on a unicycle ( she was too fast for me to get a picture) I met this gentleman. Truth to tell, I heard him some time before I met him. True to my dear mother’s dictum “ Bagpipes are an instrument that should be played out of doors”, he was belting out Scotland the Brave to the puzzlement of a few ducks and mums pushing prams.

Sounds like a fun accompaniment

And it is the season. Next thing you know it’ll be the Highland Games in Verdun.

Where once was gold…

Just a reminder that we’ve moved on to dandelion clock time already. Hoping the bees will now move on to my freshly planted window boxes. If you’re feeling frisky in the late spring sun just remember you can blow it out your…. Bagpipes!

    It amazes me that someone would choose to have bagpipes played at an event! But I suppose if it is in your background or your culture it is a reasonable choice to make! It’s a fascinating instrument, and it makes fascinating sounds!
