Making Like A Kid

[poliphilo]

Bateman's sits on an estate of over 300 acres- most of it currently given over to wildflowers. Mike and Su and I went for a short walk, diverged from the designated path- though not deliberately- and found our way back to the car park blocked by a section of grassland that had been cordoned off with a type of plastic tape I'd never seen before. We sized the situation up and decided the tape was electrified so I lowered myself to the ground and rolled under it.

I then climbed a five-barred gate.

I'm sort of pleased with myself that at 71- and with certainly bodily frailties I increasingly do my best to humour- I can still make like a kid when push comes to shove...
