Tuesday's Post "Joust a minute"

 Way back a friend and I went to Leeds Castle to see some Knights batter themselves into the ground.    


Leeds Castle










These guys were not kidding. They broke a lance nearly every time and beat the life out of each other.

There was a lot more going on but enough violence for one day

    What a wonderful castle! Wow for the Knights' Battle! Contrasting music with Led Zeppelin leading. Enjoyed them all, but loved the Blowin' In The Wind version. Thank you. Have a great day.

    WOW! I would love to see something like that. The castle looks beautiful, but I wouldn't want to live in one.

    Led Zeppelin . . . wow haven’t heard Good Times Bad Times in a LONG time.

    Wow, long time since I’ve heard Bonnie Tyler, too. Loved Lost in France. Beautiful video.

    Iconic Bobby Dylan – Blowin’ in the Wind.

    Cathie Ryan has a lovely voice. Enjoyed Somewhere along the Road and Here’s to You.

    County Down . . . . wonderful music!

    Hmmm . . . . not sure I'd enjoy the knight's jousting, but great pictures!

    WOW for the castle. It would be awesome to walk through but I certainly wouldn't want to live in one. Glad you had a great day out.

Thursday's post "Airshow"

Image
 Good morning. This should have been posted on Tuesday but busy after the BH just got in the way. Sunday I went to Headcorn airfield to see a friend's son jump out of a perfectly good plane.  His choice.  When we got there they had an air display and a classic car meet one, this was not known to us. My friend (not the one jumping) has a damaged tendon at the back of his knee and can't walk too far. So we didn't bother with the cars. We set u at the cafe and stayed there until his son did his jump. This is where I took my photos. Not my friends son These next two were taken last year with better weather As you can see I have a real thing about the Spitfire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orc6_w1pdZA www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_GCXur2Ehw www.youtube.com/watch?v=skrxCrsN290 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOzEeJZ92X8 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERTcUmTE2ck&t=6s Have a great day

Monday's post "Knights jousting"

 A few years ago I went to Leads Castle where knights were putting on this display. I am not kidding this was as real as it gets. The swords were not sharp but the lances WERE really. Take a look at these pictures: Video of Leeds Castle event Leads Event On come the king and his lady I can't remember how many of them got hurt but falling off of a horse can't be fun Here is the setting for it. Leeds has a lot of Peacocks in the ground Have a good day
