Mr Bumble, again.

Yesterday we went to 'Mr Bumble', a pub in Camberley.

Saturday I wasn't feeling so good but I went to post a letter in the village and saw a big lavender bush in flower, surrounded by greedy insects gathering pollen.

There were Bees, Butterflies and a whole swarm of Bumble Bees;


The air was heavy with the scent of lavender and the Bumble Bees were getting carried away with the excitement; flitting from one flower stalk to another, unable to believe their good luck.

In fact, they only live for a few months so this would be the first time they had discovered the delights of summer flowers.

This one is covered with specks of pollen;




They are truly loveable;

The Skasouls at Mr Bumble.

If you followed my blog for any length of time you'll have seen The Skasouls before - probably the biggest thing to come out of Staines since Hard-Fi;


On Friday we headed down to Mr Bumble on the edge of Camberley - always a good night at Mr Bumble - we made a new friend;


This is Allan and Nick Tidbury on brass; the band plays Two-Tone/Ska to a very high standard. Every night with The Skasouls is a lot of fun.




As you can see, I wasn't the only person who felt that way;



I'm missing Carl Gaywood, their longtime drummer, he brought different influences to them from old time Trojan Ska and Reggae.

These days there's more fun, more rock and I miss the old sound.

But we still ended up leaving after midnight, always fun The Skasouls, check them out for yourself!
