In common law, a hue and cry is a process by which bystanders are summoned to assist in the apprehension of someone witnessed in the act of committing a crime, a variation on the theme of "tally-ho!".In common or garden law, a huw and smile is a process by which a bystander expresses delight or disbelief at the joy and the doolallyness of the passing parade, a variation on the theme of "tally-ho!".So here lies both a cheery and a properly eye-rolling pootle along the highways, byways and alleyways of the UK and beyond as captured in a brief time of history, circa 2016-2019.An antidote, an oasis, an archipelago of serenity and repose amid all the storms and passions of lust, avarice, tribalism, ambition, power, prejudice, genius, fame, vanity, excess, rock 'n' roll, fake news, strong language and adult humour - all the stuff that lay in endless ambush.Given that humanity is not hard-wired to handle too much reality, you are cordially invited to float up, up and away above all the noise and chaos of Brexit, Trump, Social Media and Huawei (or Why-Why? as they say down the pub).
