‘A “Bummel”…I should describe as a journey, long or short, without an end; the only thing regulating it being the necessity of getting back within a certain time to the point from which one started. Sometimes it is through busy streets, and sometimes through the fields and lanes; sometimes we can be spared for a few hours, and sometimes for a few days. But long or short, here or there, our thoughts are ever on the running of the sand. We nod and smile to many as we pass; with some we stop and talk awhile; and with a few we walk a little way. We have been much interested, and often a little tired. But on the whole have had a pleasant time, and are sorry when ’tis over.”
JK Jerome – Three Men on the Bummel
You are a jerk, innit.
Criticism in all its forms is always appreciated!
