#365daysofbiking The sound of music:

November 20th – This is the coolest bloke I’ve ever seen on a commuter train.

Bar none.

We were sharing the bike space on a Birmingham commuter service. He’s on an urban flat bar; partially consumed coffee in the cup holder. He clearly works in something musical as he’s playing a small, portable electronic keyboard of the musical variety, and listening on headphones whilst reading sheet music.

He was playing the keyboard in total silence to the outside world, pensively and in the considered way someone might type an email on a laptop.

I’m not sure if he was learning music, marking it or writing it, but I have to say, you are a seriously cool man. Fascinating.

August 17th – I’m not going to say where this is for obvious reasons.

But in the heart of the urban Black Country, a keen gardener is growing melons in their front garden, on a frame made entirely of cut branches.

This is a remarkable and beautiful thing. My compliments to the grower.
