That's got to be proof it's sometimes worth acting like a kid.

Mrs Sandwich wishes I would grow up!

Nowadays I get a similar buzz browsing potential beer purchases to the buzz i used to get when browsing jazz mags.

Sound of a Merlin engine

On holiday in Scotland recently we visited the Dumfries aviation museum.

All those beautiful planes up close 😍 

Then we went to see the Spitfire. Yes, Spitfire! I actually stood next to a real Spitfire. I touched a real Spitfire. It's making me come over all weak just thinking about it now.

Reminds me of the time I heard these amazing engines and looked up to see a Lancaster flying overhead.

Or when we were going to the beach near Blackpool and saw a Spitfire flying past, screeched to a halt and jumped out the car to watch, my wife was very understanding but clearly thought I was mad 🤣 

 

Did I mention I have touched a real Spitfire?

Don't get me wrong, I like a good trip to a beer seller, but one of us must be doing something wrong

Out for a stroll today I couldn’t resist picking up a lovely shiny conker, then another and another!

You should come down to my place (on a line between Biggin Hill and Beachy Head) Spitfires fly past several times a day in the summer.  It's actually possible to become desensitised to them!

Never finding a rope swing over a stream without having a go

The archery club shares its grounds with a clay pigeon club. Hugely satisfying walking over n crunching large bits of clay pigeons.

live (and work) right next to waddington air base so we see the red arrows practising most days.  so yes, its entirely possible to become desensitised to what most people would pay good money to see.
