So England are out of the World Cup. The ridiculous optimism that appears every couple of years at major tournaments has, yet again, been destroyed and is now replaced by a veneer of jingoistic indignation. Oh well, maybe next time!

I came back via Cossall, which is such a lovely village in the heart of D. H. Lawrenece country, and then back to the A6 at The Hurt Arms where I saw this Hot Air Balloon being deflated.

Probably the main talking point of the World Cup so far is the sound of the vuvuzelas in the crowd.
These plastic trumpets sound, en masse, like a swarm of bees in the crowd.
Sainsbury's are selling them in the UK. They're just £2.
I couldn't resist and bought this one!
