Day trip: a beautiful site, an oh-no site
I am not an expert passenger. I fret way too much and am better off just looking out the window instead of the windshield. Happily, my efforts are rewarded because I see beautiful Cotswold countryside of sheep, stone walls, row hedges -- and many fields that look like are burning with yellow fire.
This yellow plant has the unfortunate name of "rapeseed" and is used in canola oil. Fields of it are a glorious sight to behold!
On the down side, some of the roads we drive are called "Single Track." That means it's about the width of a driveway. This is the view out my windshield on a Single Track ...
Should you meet another car -- or truck -- and you will, THIS becomes the view ...
I gasp every time because locals drive soooo fast! One driver then has to back up to one of the "lay-bys," a slight widening in the road that occur not that often. Will I ever get used to this?!?
Ol' Ter decided he was going to drive us from Edinburgh to St. Andrews over our last visit to the UK. I spent my time urging him to stay left and thinking he's trying to have a wreck on my side of the car.😨
ReplyDeleteWow! I wouldn't see this going well with many American drivers! "I was here first!" "No I WAS HERE FIRST!" Standoffs in the single track!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe all those pretty yellow flowers put everyone in a good mood!
Are you sure you aren’t in Kentucky with the names of these towns you are visiting?😜
