Today I popped over to Deal to do a visit I could not fit in yesterday. This meant I did not leave Teynham till 4pm to get down to the Sussex coast but now I am in Seaford. Arrived about 9.30 pm.
I took my trusty old pipe plus the nose warmer one that my brother gave me, and although I left some tobacco behind I have enough in the tin for the weekend. The English novelist William Makepeace Thackeray once said “The pipe draws wisdom from the philosopher, and shuts up the foolish; it generates a style of conversation, contemplative, thoughtful, benevolent and unaffected.” With the aroma of a good cherry and vanilla twirl , and a book to read, it is time that can be spent most pleasurably.
The book that I am reading, and not far off finishing is “Last Shop Standing, Whatever Happened To Record Shops“ by Graham Jones. Absorbing and funny..

I'm Back Plus More Photos
Aug. 22nd, 2012 09:42 pmArrived back in Teynham just after six. Had a very good journey. Traffic was light and the connections between buses was swift without much waiting time.
Tried a new small pipe that brother gave me this evening. The tobacco he bought was the roll-up type rather than pipe. Plonker! Still, not a bad smoke from it.
Anyway, he took some photos of me from our weekend in Rutland at the Crown Inn, so without further ado here are the pics.
