Lost.

Blustery. We wander down to the broccoli field to observe the roofers working on the doocot and chat with the tractor drivers. The tractor drivers know Sophie by name but Angus is simply 'the man who lives down by the coast'. 

Off to the cottage hospital for our flu and Covid jabs. The woman behind the reception desk  tells us to follow the arrows to the inoculation centre. ' You can't get lost ' she says . We get lost and somehow find ourselves upstairs when we should be downstairs. It seems there are various sets of arrows and we have tried to follow them all.

We are 'redirected' by the woman at the reception desk. This time round she speaks very slowly and uses extravagant hand gestures.  After what seems an eternity off arrow following we are greeted by a sign that tells us we're in the right place. Angus observes this cartoon image of a highland cow in a nurses outfit and wonders what audience this appeals to ?  " The sort of people who get confused following arrows " says 'The Font' deplhically.

Sophie’s dad would be the moniker here. I too remember dog names over peoples. At least there are butterflies and flowers to soften the sign.

Broccoli? Time for a field of croissants or ginger snaps.

Nothing makes one feel like they are of a certain age as when they get lost in a medical facility. Been there, done that recently..
