Quod oculus meus videt

Things you see in the Local Park

"Members of the leaning backwards movement help out by trampling on the mole hills after a recent epidemic in the local park".

The things you come across in your local park.  We don't very often walk through the local park, preferring the countryside and rural footpaths.  However, on this occasion we did and almost immediately noticed a large gathering of people, with tents and cars surrounding a small arena so sauntered over to take a look.  It appears to be a gathering of marching bands and they were taking things very seriously.  What amazed us was there were almost as many judges in the arena as members of the band.  A little later the kazoo players stood in the middle, and they were literally surrounded by the judges, listening intently for any mistakes.  They must have more finely tuned ears than me, I couldn't even work out what they were playing.

We didn't hang around for long, wanting to get back for the little matter of another British (Scottish?) success at Wimbledon, with the added bonus of a mixed doubles success as well, not to mention double success in the wheelchair finals.
