After a great breakfast in our favourite cafe decided to avoid the hussle and bussle of today's town events and enjoy home and garden instead, but the Blades air acrobatic display just happened, easy for us to see from where we are, and my goodness, they were impressive, 4 planes, moving like a flock in unison, drawing shapes together, disappearing behind clouds only to let themselves tumble and rotate toward the ground to pick themselves up again in the nick of time, incredible skill, timing, stomachs! A long display, too, nobody will be able to quibble about that one.
What stunned me thought that as we stood on the clifftops behind our house watching it in awe there were so many people, with children passing, showing not the slightest bit of interest!! What's wrong with people? That was some show! One woman walked passed, totally intend watching her old dog in the grass, she needed to lift her nose about an inch to see what's going on, I say to her (thinking maybe she has poor eyesight or something) can you see the planes, and she says, no, didn't see them but I can hear them, they fly over here quite a lot (jets do, true, but... ) so H said, but the display is stunning! and she says, oh, they're doing a display? Arrrghh!!! goes to show, same universe, different experience. The display continued, she saw us look up, looked up at the people standing at the open flat windows, (so I thought, she CAN look up, she doesn't have a crook neck or anything) and still she never say any of this free and amazing show, just heard the racket. Amazing....
