Lunch Out

My mother's trainer gave us lunch at her local yesterday. I wasn't looking forward to spending all that time in the company of horsey people but as it turned out I found myself sitting opposite a retired judge and we bonded over The ingoldsby Legends, Dr Syn and the romance of Romney Marsh.

My mother enjoyed herself but was very tired afterwards.

Ah the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh - one of my favourites.

I remember being scared silly by the opening of the Disney film...

Patrick McGoohan as I recall, he did an excellent job.

LOVED the Disney show so much as a kid! The opening was scary -- for kids, anyway! Dr. Syn!!! Wonderful!

Perfect bonding.

I've heard tell the world be divided into five parts- Asia, Africa, America, Europe and Romney Marsh.

That is an excellent thing to bond over.

He lives on the Marsh- much of which is currently
underwater.
