Stayed up late last night for guilty pleasures (Point Break) so didn't get out until this afternoon. The kids were at an Archery Party (which sounded well dangerous) so I ducked off for a couple of hours on the bike in the sunshine.
Mainly familiar Kent lanes but with a couple of 'off pistes' thrown in for good measure. In a lane near Chelsfield, which I have been down many times but never noticed this before, I found a blue plaque commemorating the Lord Mayor of London who instituted the publication of Parliamentary debates.. Brass Crosby was his name and the plaque seems to infer that he is the origin of the saying "As Bold as Brass". Sadly a couple of minutes on Google casts much doubt on that but it's a nice story (even if it's not true..)
