LOL, its not really our backyard, but we do have a load of bins nearby.  Unfortunately they are those massive ones, we dont want to give him the luxury of space.

We could always fill it with garbage i suppose.

hmmm, not quite the same, but we do have a beach in Ruislip....

Ruislip Lido!

When I was a small boy, I ran away from home once, & for some reason, ended up spending 3 days at Ruislip Lido. I helped the man who ran the miniature train they used to have there, huge fun, & I slept in the Lido public toilets for 2 nights in a row.

On morning three, which was a Monday, I was very hungry, so decided to walk into Ruislip to try & get some food. I had no money, but Woolworths used to sell biscuits "loose", they were in open-topped glass compartments in a self-serve counter, & I'd nicked some on the Saturday, & thought I'd repeat the trick. So off I went. I got stopped by a policeman in Ruislip High Street, asaking what I was up to, as I had started behaving suspiciously when I saw him. I'd clocked him, knew this looked dodgy, so I continued to walk towards him, but I started walking backwards, so that he could not see my face......I kid you not, I was not the sharpest pin in the box in those days. So he stops me, "where are you off to?". "Woolworths" I reply. "At 5am?" says he. "Err, is it that early?, I wanted to be there as soon as it opened" I replied. "It does not open today Sonny - it's Bank Holiday Monday" says Nice Policeman......"Oh yes, I know that, but I'm walking my dog as well". "What dog?" says he. "I've let him off the lead" I say. "What lead?", says he........"Err, I left the lead at home". "And the dog, I fancy" says he, & that was me rumbled, & taken to Ruislip Police Station.

Dad was contacted - by telegram ffs! - to say I'd been found, & he came down to collect me & take me home on the crossbar of his bike. Meanwhile, the Policeman gave me his lunch box - everyone used a red "OXO" Tin for sarnies in those days, & I wolfed the lot - they were Heinz Sandwich Spread, which I've adored ever since. I've never forgotten the kindness of that policeman, I'd not eaten in 48 hours & I was soooo hungry, those sarnies were the best meal I've ever had in my life.

I coild also tell you a story about the two Ruislip Stations on the Central Line - West Ruislup, & Ruislip Gardens........

Wow - I have been all over the world but I have never been to the peak or lake district. It looks wonderful.
