Bumps-a-daisy!



In the immortal words of some old lady on my bus, "Our coach had a bumps-a-daisy with another coach and we can't go on." Yep, my first coach accident. As my couch was backing up to leave our stop at Heathrow on the way to the Cotswolds, another coach arrived and banged into us (I blame the other coach because he was going forward - he should have seen us backing up and stopped). The impact with our coach drove the rear view mirror of the other coach into its windshield resulting in the damage you see here. Its ironical that before we left London I took a picture of this sign because I thought it was funny - wiser words were never posted in a coach station. After about an hour, they brought us a replacement coach and we were back on our way. It was a gorgeous day in Cirencester (Cotswolds) and well worth the trip. It had to be 75 degrees yesterday - I was down to a short-sleeve t-shirt while walking about the town. Sorry if the slideshows are boring, but I'm kinda into photography so I take as many shots of whatever I like as I can and will see what I can do with them later when I get them on the computer. Obviously I like buildings and flowers, not people, and especially love those yellow fields! I know some of you would like to see pics that include me and Mo but generally I'm on my own (Mo is working) and I really hate pictures of myself so it's probably not gonna happen. Took a great self-photo of me and Mo and the stinky bus to Bletchley (she made a funny face I didn't know about till I saw the pic), but she won't let me post it. She has her own camera and web page with which to retaliate so I am respecting her wishes.
