Midnight pool parties #21

...the local Police that Kev’s band were all taking drugs which led to the drug squad regularly following us.  It was quite comical as we would be walking down the street and notice a car kerb crawling behind us; we would purposely stop at every shop and stare in the window for a few minutes so that they had to keep stopping too! On another occasion Kev gave me a lift home on his motorbike late at night and we noticed a car driving behind us.  As we got near to Hoar Cross the car was still a little way behind us and we began to think that it might be following us as you never saw many cars out there late at night!  As we got to the Lodge and the entrance to t...

We conso...

The Grand Opening #5

...scape the Police or a villain – well this is exactly what we did from our bedroom windows which were well over 25 feet high.  One time Piers got out onto the window sill (unbeknown to us) and visitors were running into the house to tell someone about the ‘small child about to fall out of the window’!    We were always getting up to mischief – check out later blogs for more of our tricks!
