Polly and her friends had been very taken with Grandpa's stories about the giant weed just past the exit from Ruxley Lane, on his new-found route, the Ruxley Lane anti-clockwise. A weed first noticed here at reference 2.

So the other day, they asked to be taken along, with the results above. Polly was very pleased with herself, while Pedro was a bit annoyed that Grandpa had not taken more care with his part of the snap. Once again, Polly got all the glory.
Luckily, Grandpa made a bit of a diversion at this point by collecting a red bus which a nearby householder had put on its front wall for the first comer.

When they got home, Pedro, as a special treat, was allowed to drive the bus down the ramp. Unfortunately, he didn't think to try the brakes first and in the event his feet did not reach far enough and the bus crashed when it got to the bottom. Luckily no-one was hurt and the bus was not damaged.
While Grandpa and Grandma were quite pleased the the flashing lights and flashing noises did not work, even when they tried changing the batteries. This may have been due to their not being able to find any kind of a switch - but in any event, they can honestly say that no (tiresome) lights and no (tiresome) noises are available.
PS 1: the new client can still get into a muddle with carelessly inserted images. I can't get the spacing between the first and second image quite right and I can't make head nor tail of the underlying html to correct it that way, a wheeze which sometimes used to work with the old client.
PS 2: later: went to the bother of copying the html to Notepad and playing with it there, eventually tracking down what I thought was the problem. But by the time that I got back to Blogger, the offending chunk of html seemed to have vanished and the image spacing was OK. All very mysterious - but I have brushed up my limited knowledge of html.
