A engine built to cruise Europe, an interior equipped like a luxurious hotel, able to survive for days in some of the worlds wildest places and they take me shopping!

Perhaps they were just passing through as they continued to the east of Nottingham, seems a long way to go to buy plants. They fill me with a huge selection of cottage garden plants, there certainly will not be room for my humans to make a brew now.

At last real adventure and I am on the lookout for men in Lincoln Green, Friars and maids. Now these characters knew how to get away from the madding crowd which is what my humans should be doing, ah well still half the year left.

My human used to pretend to be this outlaw when he was a young lad he even had a bow and arrow, it's in his shed now, he spent many hours with this bow and arrow, climbing trees in Willenhall Park pretending to be one of this band of merry men.

I have to say Sherwood Forest is extremely disappointing we never saw any of them today, perhaps the rain kept them away, fine weather outlaws.


Title of post from .... Thomas H. Ohlgren, Robin Hood: The Early Poems, 1465–1560,
It's in old English, my humans studied such poems when at school and merrily chanted all the lines they could remember and there are many, I had no idea what they were on about.
