Took the above whilst stopped on the road from Whittlesey to Thorney, just before crossing the river Nene. And shortly after this field full o\u2019 cows, was a field full o\u2019 sheep! Aw\u2026 lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geese!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then, after my final drop, in Thorney (a lovely village that dates back to the 600s), I saw these geese. I love<\/em> living out in the country! It nourishes the soul in a way the city not only fails to do so, but actively works against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interesting local info\u2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used to studiously ignore these public info\u2019 boards. Not entirely sure why, to be honest!? I\u2019ve snapped this one so I can read it at me leisure (the latter to be pronounced US style, as in seizure!), out of the biting winds that are blowing today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stopped just outside Thorney to have my Morrison\u2019s salad counter lunch. Delish! We must – or rather I<\/em> must – start making such stuff at home. It\u2019ll be cheaper, and very healthy. And it\u2019s way more satisfying and delicious than the \u2018pornography for the palate\u2019 that is so much of contemporary convenience foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice to see little wooden benches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to sit and chill here for a while. And prob\u2019 try and book some more delivery work. Those two things don\u2019t go together – relaxing and getting work – truth be told!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
