faraway, so close

The photo (from Facebook) is the air ambulance landing in Lavender Park after a 15 year old boy was stabbed around the corner in Steers Mead yesterday afternoon.

Steers Mead is less than a mile's walk from my house.

The Old Ruts play the odd home game at Lavender Park on Sunday mornings, and we always see Callum's dad Bismark when they do as he coaches football there at the same time in the cage.

See Knife Crime. See Dan Young RIP.

Nigel Tufnel: It really puts perspective on things though, doesn't it?
David St. Hubbins: Too much. There's too much fxxking perspective now.
