I’ve never driven from Cornwall to Norfolk in one go… until today. Interesting to see the landscape change, from west to east, and to visit two towns called St Ives. The fields are so lush and green, and the spring light piercing. I learned that Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire are real counties. Who knew? I saw lots of buzzards… but even more dead mammals by the roadside: about ten foxes, maybe twenty badgers.
Gratifyingly, the satnav lady says “Bath”, like a northerner, not “Barth”, like a soft, southern bed-wetter. She’s not just northern, she’s old-fashioned… directing me, for a few miles, up the “Great North Road” (rather than the more prosaic A1). The day ended at Ranworth Broad: a gorgeous sight after hours of driving…
