i near forgot!
the punch line
so, weds eve.. a gathering of 3 vans
mine
oldfolks ( him so desperate to talk)
and a woman...early 60s...ultra Gwerk
the usual cotton bag attire Natural Store etc
cowboy hat
hip
so smug...
sitting a while on her roofrack watching sunset...performing ( FOR US) laidback
hippy chic, one of the 'tribe's...would come to Hollybush in old days....
nowadays after Gwerk money...
so i meander...wondering if hedge may eat some more food now...
dont want to bother her....her performative laidback poise
her enjoying sunset ( quite visibly placed to be seen doing so)
but then after a quiet period of time not bothering anyone...i saw she had a dog
usual hipster ' rescued' look to it so i thought why not... kindness among animal lovers and travellers...trumps
" hi van woman with cool cowboy hat..... sorry to bother...i wouldnt, except i see you have a dog..... i have a hedgehog v ill onboard my van there...just seems to have got better thisaft.. ...only just started eating...thought was dying....i have run out if food for it dont suppose you have a thimbleful of dog biccies or something on board..?([ her large travelling living van]......"
van people have all my years of small space living ...about 7 of last 30... solidarity and fellowship....
thats the POINT!
as we saw 10 min later with oldcouple with 2 scotties as soon as i spoke with him...
ehhhhh....not any more...and certainly not in this poisonous ferkin shitcreek.....when it came to herrrr
she...is mr mccarthys the road.... and she too self obsessed up herself i bet ever to read the book so beautifully describes...figuratively
herrrr
and yes there were real moral rules of the traveller in place decades...she will have once known....
no excuses just cos...
to be cont
