The blade shield has been found...
My granddaughter Hattie found it today..
It would seem that it bounced off the concrete and penetrated the hedge in an upright position..
It looked like a branch..

As a country we are treading a stupid path. We no longer have the means of creating the wealth that let us rule half the world: no coal, no iron, no steel, we don't build ships or (many) motor cars, or buses or trucks, they are nearly all foreign made, or trains, or consumer goods. The country is run like a Kurdish barber's shop with a Ferrari outside, it's all borrowed. Most of the actual money comes from the City of London from insurance and trading - not wealth creation.

My school had a wide catchment area so most of the pupils came by bus and/or train. I always walked or cycled but that wouldn't have been practical for most of them. I notice that some schools advertise that they have "walking days" and now the local nazis have imposed "school streets" so that nobody can drive a motor vehicle, except teachers, within a radius of the school which means the parents with cars have to wait at some distance.

Next time I'll find a softer seat
Perhaps with somewhere to rest my feet
I'll travel to Brighton
It might help enlighten
Things of Gay Pride that I seek
