Parachute

[thelittlebigvoice]

I kid you not.

As I came down LL this afternoon (sober) I saw a parachutist jump from a white helicopter and head towards the area of Crystal Palace / Silvester Road.

I was honestly not drunk - and it seems odd in such a built up area - anyone know anything ?

Sorry................I was in a bit of a hurry to get home!

Alleyns school Founder's Day was today and they had three parachutists jumping out of a helicopter and landing in the school grounds as part of the celebrations and linked to the school CCF. My 18 month old was there with me watching it and was completely entranced!

Parachutist, schmarachutist. Meh.

Sober on a Saturday aftie in ED, now that's stretching it a little.

They do this every founders day. They land on marks in Alleyns fields. my daughter is also 18 months and loved it, but was also scared as to why the man was flying. Hmm..

This happens most years and although I have not seen it myself I have seen the planes and the jumpers but not them actually landing, and I believe they have landed in Peckham Rye Park too on celebrations. Mighty exciting.

"Owwwww" why didn't I see it,

I wanted to see it, but I didn't know until now,

I never see these exciting things, an' it's not fair!

One risky sport.
