Chestnut Avenue on the North Downs near Tatsfield again, but this time looking west instead of east.
"That old chestnut" is a fairly common saying in the English language, often used in response to hearing a stale joke or story.
Etymology (source: wiktionary)
Originally as chestnut, with “old” for emphasis. Popularized US 1880s, particularly Northeast and Midwest, with various theories propounded.
A commonly cited theory, viewed by the Oxford English Dictionary as “plausible” and cited by Brewer’s, is that it was coined by Boston comedic actor William Warren Jr., quoting from 1816 English melodrama The Broken Sword by William Dimond. One of the characters in the play is a boor, and when once recounting a tale mentions a cork tree, which is corrected by the character Pablo as “A chestnut. I have heard you tell the tale these 27 times.” This line was then apparently quoted at a dinner party by Warren in response to a boor there, and proved popular.

That morning I gathered dew drops and sunshine…and the scent of newly cut grass.
Together with fallen leaves and a loutishly torn leaf…seeds and fallen blossoms of a crazy erguvan (judas tree).
The morning will come in a few hours… with what, I wonder.
That's what Paddy believes & he's not moving until he sees them.

This image was captured by boat on the southern arm of the scenic Alouette River.
You can also capture this area by foot, but nothing compares to experiencing this life style by floating into the scene and becoming one with the peacefulness and beauty that 'surrounds' you.

Albufeira is a coastal city in the southern Algarve region of Portugal. It’s a former fishing village that has become a major holiday destination, with sandy beaches, [a waterfront promenade] and a busy nightlife strip. Local fishermen now use the modern marina, also a base for diving, dolphin-watching and boat trips.― Google

The best option is to gain intel, the local D18PD station is quiet so Flit takes the opportunity to sneak across the street to tap into their databases and hack some information.

from their hangovers, they’ll be here to recover.
