An old freezer has a million uses. You can bury it in the ground with the door exposed to make a cold celler. You can also put it in a barn door side up and use it as storage for your animal feeds to keep the rodents out.

Two of those fellows did have bugles as well as their drums and the fellow at the rear on the right had a xylophone-type instrument. However, compared with well-organised and well-funded American marching bands, I freely admit that this little team were slightly pathetic. In their defence, they had driven out into the countryside at the behest of the vicar so full marks for enthusiasm.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-36778092061845563672020-11-05T13:52:18.205+00:002020-11-05T13:52:18.205+00:00*There is no Eternity.

Answer: Drummers. My point is that that handsome group of crimson-clad marchers is not what we would call a band. That is what we would call a drumline or a percussion session. It is not even a drum and bugle corps or a fife and drum dorps. I do like their uniforms, though.<br /><br />We in the U.S. have heard of cow-tipping but not fly-tipping. Since the freezer looks practically pristine (more P's a la Red) and contained food and even ice, you say, my thought was that perhaps it wasn't "dumped" at all but fell off a passing moving truck. But your pointing out the yellow sticker put there by the Council smashed that idea.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-56716729131659682352020-11-05T13:16:19.021+00:002020-11-05T13:16:19.021+00:00Pace Irving Berlin, sometimes the lyric outlives t...Pace Irving Berlin, sometimes the lyric outlives the melody.<br />*Barbara Peaslee might have pleased me, Jennifer Rigby haunts me still.*Hameldaemepal@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231016503726428849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-48678216747444681482020-11-05T13:11:56.998+00:002020-11-05T13:11:56.998+00:00Chocolate Noir with an Existential Cherry !
