And the night is cold
I hug my coat tightly around my neck

Two hares race across the grass airstrip. Next a field of mown hay. The train trundles along steadily between Lincoln and Newark. Haste is not in the vocabulary. The growing season is in full swing.
Fishermen space themselves evenly along the banks of the river Trent. Day tents pitched near the water, vans parked a little further back. Good luck to them. Trout for supper.
Iron road meets iron road as we merge onto the main line and the train slows down to pull into Newark Northgate. Scaffolding surrounds the station building. They are having some work done. Investing for the future.
The carriage fills up at Newark. Mostly blokes now with their laptops open. Important meetings in London. I am listening to Meic Stevens on my ‘phones.
As we speed south some of the fields are already exhibiting a yellowish tinge although most are still very much green. A country church is surrounded by a large hamlet of mostly modern houses. Post war expansion. No idea which war 😀

Milkman came at three twenty ey em this morning. Not the usual bloke. The regular guy must be on holiday, or ill, or stopped doing the job, or been kidnapped though that’s unlikely as we would have heard it on the news. To be fair he doesn’t take much time off 🙂

Watching LCD Sound System on the Pyramid Stage at Glasto. This is their last track – very good fair play. Dunno what it’s called. Could look it up. The punters seem to know it. I suppose they would. I’ve only just found out they exist.
Now channel hopped to yesterday’s Gardeners World seeing as THG has entered the room. Seems like the thing to do having been sat near Adam Frost at the Parcel Yard pub in Kings Cross yesterday innit.
I say channel hop but this is all on the chromecast. Perhaps tab or window hop is a better way of putting it. Maybe not. Stream hop? I’ll stop now.
We have our own Glasto, of sorts happening in Lincoln Castle this weekend. Kaiser Chiefs tonight and Madness tomorrow. Seen Madness a couple of times. Great live band
