NEVER A BETTER JOURNEY TO WORK For the last week i have had to travel to Corby for a course rising earlier than usual and listening to the continual drivel about Wayne Rooney's metatarsal and whether or not sven is a sweedish sabotuer in the England camp i have been driven to the edge of sanity until today. As my mind wandered from the job in hand, getting to corby in one piece my thoughts strayed to coffee and the burger van parked in the layby would provide the sustanance needed to complete my journey. My car safely tucked in behind an umpteen wheel truck i strolled towards my oasis but was stopped in my tracks as at first one then another and another etc etc until 5 red kites rose into the air from behind a hedge and continued to circle and reel in the early morning sun, as the mist cleared from my eyes and i realised i wasn;t dreaming, i raced back to my car for my binoculars ,past the burger laden truck driver who tutted in my direction as if to confirm my madness. from miserable car driver to crazed twitcher in less than a millisecond 5 red kites all to myself (AND TRUCK DRIVER ) for 15 minutes,who needs coffee. i arrived at work both refreshed and looking forward to tomorrows trip to work. |
