"Il Duce Far Niente"... the joy of doing nothing.
Drove the sisters to Royal Tunbridge Wells where they boarded a train to Dover. I have the day off... no "cute" for me today. Just some lazing around followed by a walk to town. Absolutely will have to have a pint with lunch at the Anchor Inn.
I am a mile walk from Hartfield. This is "Pooh" country. A.A. Milne wrote "Winnie the Pooh" while he lived at Cotchfield Farm in Hartfield. Consequently, there are many "pooh" sights nearby. Milne later sold the house to Brian Jones, who in 1962 founded a rock & roll group called Rollin' Stone.
Quote from Wikipedia...
According to Keith Richards, Jones christened the band during a phone call to Jazz News. When asked for a band name Jones saw a Muddy Waters LP lying on the floor. One of the LP's tracks was "Rollin' Stone"
They later changed the name to "The Rolling Stones"
On July 3, 1969 Brian drowned in the swimming pool at Cotchfield Farm.
It's a gorgeous sunny day here. High near 70 with a light breeze.
