Flights Of Fancy

I note that the gentleman who sell ariel photographs of the village have been doing the rounds again recently. One of their seling points seems to be if you are caught weeding your garden or washing the car in one of their photos. I bet they get a few good sales if their photos catch people engaged in rather more exotic activities in the shrubbery. I bet that some buy up every copy in existence lest they fall into the hands of their neighbours. Then, of course who knows what the fashion police might have to say about people caught hanging up their washing dressed in whatever clothes they could find to cover their decency.

Personally, I think it was a lot safer when the only people you had selling things at your door were old Sikh blokes selling brushes or the Romany community flogging lucky white heather.Everyone wants in on the act these days from aspiring Polish artists and dodgy burgler alarm salesmen, to the nutjobs who sell 'The watchtower'. Some of these people are a very good reason for keeping a dog with a very loud and fierce bark no matter how placid it is in reality.
