The last post...horn

Hopefully this won't be the last opportunity to keep the lip in trim...

Posthorn
  Lorne Campbell took the opportunity for an early morning blow...

With the Government considering increasingly draconian measures on self isolation, as well as insisting on people taking preventative social distancing much more seriously, making sure you can keep your lip in trim may require players to take ever more inventive measures.

The chances then of taking the opportunity to get out in the countryside at 6.30am in the morning as renowned photographer Lorne Campbell did today over Hebden Bridge to simply enjoying playing a post horn could well soon be a delight consigned to memory — for the time being at least.
