MIATA SUMMER
Fintry Picnic and The Caravan Farm Theatre
Is there a Bucket List?
I don't really know
But on it I am sure
Would be an open- top Miata
A gorgeous summer day
A picnic in the scenic countryside
And a heart-rending play.
Marnie at the wheel
Her silver baby shining
Nine Miatas total
caravanning.
Blues, silver, purple, red
Moving like a ribbon
Up and over the narrow route,
Our enjoyment was a given.
After a delightful picnic
All daintily displayed
we ate, enjoyed, and set off once again
Near Armstrong was our quest.
"Nightsmare" the play
was a true story of a horse, who grew up blind
told to us with the horse playing his part,
We will not forget that tale,
Not for a long time, anyway.

A little older now and perhaps after all these years, a little wiser. I now have a wonderful family, two lovely Daughters and two Great Granchildren.

I AM THE STORIES OF MY LIFE
Onward, what came next? I don’t recall the sequence now, but I bused through the countryside heading south, visited the Isle of Man, watched the Isle of Man TT races at the beginning of June. Have you heard of the TT Races? This is a motorbike race that has a course through mountainous terrain challenging the best of riders. It is a thrill to watch and in 1964 it was Mike Hailwood. I remember standing with many onlookers near a humpback bridge and watching as the riders came speeding round the bend almost touching the ground as they crossed the bridge. It was engraved on my memory.
