Halloween Fools at Newbold Comyn Arms

With quotes from the plays on the base of the statue, this dominates the pedestrian precinct

Kind of a funny April Fool's joke done by Google, so I took these screen caps.

As soon as Sarah Palin was introduced as the VP candidate, I immediately thought of Chauncey Gardener, the main character in "Being there"....the similarities are striking, but I would give Chauncey the edge in terms of character and honesty.

Not sure if that's the same recipe my wife used, but I'd wager all fools are made the same way.

 

And it's delicious.

The fool, from the Whitchurch morris side, outside the Axe and Compasses in Arkesden, Essex. Taken over the centenary weekend of the Thaxted morris men and the first of several encounters with him over the weekend.

 

An entertaining and eccentric bloke who kept holding up and harassing passing motorists for charity donations.

I loved watching this woman make pasta. She was already working when I arrived for lunch (one of the reasons I chose this place) and continued the entire span of my leisurely lunch.

 

The dough was already made and sits in the bin to her left on the table. It's covered with a damp cloth to keep it from drying out.

 

She first made several batches of tortellini and then moved on to tagliatelle.

 

She was a really great sport - I'd asked if I could take photos and she smiled as she agreed but I'm not sure she was prepared for me to jump up from my table (I'd chosen to sit just behind her) and snap a few shots at each step in the process. I probably took about 60 photos and she didn't seem bothered at all.

I am a fool sometimes. I had planned to get out early this morning but couldn't decide where I wanted to go, tides weren't all that great for coastal stuff and I was under orders not to burn up too much petrol so a local shoot it would have to be. Awaking nice and early I started to get myself sorted but found myself being cajoled into entertaining my youngest (normally you can't get them up early on a schoolday). I'd already looked out of the window to see a huge bank of thick cloud to the east, not much chance of a decent sunrise I thought. Eventually at just after 7am i hit the road to witness the sun literally burning a hole through that bank of cloud but was there a decent vantage point to capture it, was there heck.

I just caught the tail end of the sunrise when I arrived at Plessey Woods so, with my 10-20 in place and an ND grad on the front I took a couple of shots then I hoisted the tripod and camera onto my shoulder and headed to the river a ten minute walk away. What I should have done was put myself into nature mode, i.e. swap to a longer lens and set the controls for a faster shutter speed cos you never know what you might spot. What i did spot was three roe deer crossing the track ahead of me and could I get a shot, could I heck. Worse still I keep telling myself to carry the Dynax with the 70-300 on just for such instances.

I did swap lenses to my 18-105 (the longest I have for the Nikon) but, despite two more fleeting glances of the deer I never got a decent shot, too many trees in the way.

I did spot this golden winter morning light though so a quick handheld shot was taken.

The group of fools with the ballista marksman above the oval pond.

This stone is SUPPOSED to be where Christs body was layed when taken down from the stake It is greased daily. Silly fools! I hope they know that Jehovah doesn't like us to worship idols even though it was his son.

 

''For I Jehovah am a jealous god and share my glory with NO ONE''

Chris, since he was a baby, has seen the world from a slightly tilted angle which is a delight most of the time. Another long-ago example of his view can be found today on his photostream:

A fool can never learn from the wise person how never to be a fool, for a fool will always be a fool!

 

But the wise person can always learn from the fool, how never to be a fool!
