Oh Knickers!
Having sat in the camper-van on Friday, and had such fun, we decided it would be nice to go somewhere scenic the next day and have lunch in the camper.
We drove up to a beauty spot. The highest point in Yorkshire, where you can see the beautiful countryside for miles and miles. It was another sunny day, but when we got to the top the wind was fierce! Well you can’t be up that high and not expect some wind.
We had packed some sausages, fried onions and various sauces and it wasn’t long before we were tucking into delicious sausage rolls and drinking tea.
We noticed an ice cream van and we questioned who would eat ice cream in this cold wind. We didn’t need to wait long before we saw just who would. I wanted to take a photograph but without getting out of the camper, pointing the camera directly at her and probably getting pulverised, it was impossible. You’ll just have to do with my artists impression.
She was not the most glamorous of women, well she wasn’t remotely glamorous if I’m honest. She had a little boy of about eleven with her. Poor boy surely must have been embarrassed, to say the least. She had a very full, very short miniskirt on and was standing facing us. The skirt was blowing up and exposing her black knickers and we were laughing at the fact that she wasn’t too bothered about showing her, less that glamorous legs to us all.
She turned around and we were stunned. She wasn’t showing her knickers at all. She wasn’t wearing any! We had a good five minutes view of her backside and she didn’t even try to hold her skirt down!
Did we have a laugh that day? You bet we did!
Stumble it!

Gosh she must have felt a bit chilly with a face full of ice cream and the wind whistling round her nether regions.
Do you think she realised that she had forgotten something and what did the ice cream vendor think about it all? They say there’s nowt so queer as folk, and I’m afraid there isn’t!

Oh, my goodness! Hahahahahaha!! She must have ice in her veins … and a short-circuited embarrassment chip! ROFL!
Poor little boy. He’ll be damaged for life, and I do actually mean that quite seriously. If she makes a habit of this (and I bet she does) and flashes his friends … how would the poor little devil get past that? Yikes … !

She must have been thick skinned…one for the cold and two for the no underwear not to bother her. Some people don’t care a hoot…but the poor boy.
I can just imagine my face if I had been there…it was certainly an entertaining outing, lol!!
I love the view, all that peace and tranqulity..bliss!!

Jaffer: Ha ha! That is exactly what she looked like Jaffer. We laughed too!
Speedy: You’re lucky really. It was not a pretty picture I can tell you
Granny Grimble: She obviously didn’t care who saw her or she wouldn’t be wearing such a short skirt with no knickers on in the first place!
Speedy: Ha ha! Yes I did. I couldn’t remember what the “Triple Basketball Neck Cat in Yorshire” was
Carl: Yes we did laugh a lot! I thought surely she must have heard us. Thankfully she wouldn’t know we were laughing at her
Jay: Although it was hilarious for us, I do think the little boy would have serious problems with it. Some mothers are so self absorbed!
June: It was very entertaining at the time but I do feel for the little boy!

Do you think maybe she had a thong on? That would look like she had none on from the back view! But even so, given her shape and the weather…… Hahaha!

The picture is beautiful it reminds me of a scene in Shadowlands…
as for the other part, I would have tried to snap a picture. Not that I would have posted, but I would have tried for the danger factor… like hunting big game.

Michelle Gartner: Ha ha ha! I’m a natural coward! I would have been right on top of her – no hiding place

Just love the illustration! I guess she must have an incredibly healthy body image to think her outfit was appropriate. She probably felt very sexy. What a ghastly thought!

Babs:
That’s a great little story. But where on earth do you get those fabulous drawings? It is so perfect. I can just picture the while thing, including the two of you laughing. Do you draw them yourself? Man if I could draw like that my stories would be so fabulously rich with illustrations of every kind. Many times I have to settle for a picture or a drawing that I really don’t want, but it’s the best I can do with my own meager (some say nonexistent) talents.
God bless windy days.
Happy trails.

Jan: A ghastly thought and a ghastly sight, I can tell you ha ha!
Eric & Flynn: We couldn’t fathom it at all. Did her husband also think it looked good? What about the poor young boy with them!
Swubird: Yes I do draw them myself. Only since I’ve been blogging really
Drowsey: ha hahaha! I could just imagine you then! Yes it would have made a good sequel to your post! She definitely did not have a Brazilian!
To thong or not to thong? That is the question. The answer was NOT!

Great picture to explain the idea. Great.
I am everytime also surprised to see here old women in winter wearing more or less in the same way. The difference is they have longer skirts and the knee-length socks. But when they stoop… mmm…

Sounds like an exhibitionist to me. She knew PERFECTLY well what she was doing. That reminds me of a woman in the shopping mall I worked at, many years ago, who was escorted out of the store by the mall cop for going up and down the escalator, wearing a tiny tennis outfit/skirt and nothing underneath.

JD: Of course, you are right. She most definitely knew what she was doing. How, though, could she think anybody wanted to see such an ugly sight, other than to have a good laugh at her expense?
