Morning
A 40 minute drive to work along A and B roads with national speed limits. Weaving through roads where trees meet overhead and glimpses of farmland peek through the undergrowth, then bursting into sunshine with flat fields on either side. Over bridges with canal boats alongside, through little villages with mini roundabouts and small alleyways barely big enough for a car. Up a steep hill, past the pub at the top with a breathtaking view of the surrounding county spread out below, then a glorious rush down again letting the gears run free after the steep climb (am driving an automatic).
