Biker in the ditch

While riding my Harley along the A272, I swerved to avoid hitting a deer, lost control and landed in a ditch, severely banging my head. Dazed and confused I crawled out of the ditch to the edge of the road when a shiny new convertible pulled up with a very beautiful woman who asked, "Are you okay? 

"I'm okay I think," I replied as I pulled myself up to the side of the car to get a closer look. She said, "Get in and I'll take you home, so I can clean and bandage that nasty scrape on your head." "That's nice of you," I answered, "But I don't think my wife will like me doing that!"

"Oh, come now, I'm a nurse," she insisted. "I need to see if you have any more scrapes and then treat them properly." Well, she was really pretty and very persuasive. Being sort of shaken and weak, I agreed, but repeated, "I'm sure my wife won't like this." We arrived at her place which was just a few miles away and, after a couple of cold beers and the bandaging, I thanked her and said, "I feel a lot better, but I know my wife is going to be really upset so I'd better go now." Don't be silly!" she said with a smile. "Stay for a while. She won't know anything. By the way, where is she?" "My guess is that she's still in the ditch."

Photo Quiz No. 14

There's a nice building - trouble is, you may be too busy looking in the shop window to see the splendour above. Any ideas??

To ask where is this dragon's exact position would be asking too much, but why has it got so eroded?

The House with the rainbow on it is the Railway Terrace in Bepton Road, Midhurst. 

The second rainbow photo is more difficult - it was taken some years ago and it's Maddie, covering up from the elements.

A poem for our time

Max Boyce  Coronavirus poem HERE:-   Max Boyce

Corvid home working affects us all.

A Policeman on patrol in West Sussex came across God walking along the A272 between Midhurst and Petersfield.

"What are you doing here", said the Policeman. "I'm working from home", said God.

This house should be familiar to many Midhurst walkers, but maybe not in these colours - any idea where it is?

To ask where are these rainbows would be too hard, so who is it wearing the red coat?

The picture of the lamp was surprisingly easy for some people - it is in fact  a lamp outside the cloisters at Chichester Cathedral, near the entrance to the choir school. 

Stonehenge was not the right answer to the second photo. They were spotted on a walk from West Stoke in October 2018. The stones are the work of Neil Lawson Baker, a retired surgeon, now an artist, sculptor, photographer and author of children's books who lives nearby.
