unleashing

My first time in Lincolnshire. I’m very excited, I’m in the lovely town of Stamford

I sleep till gone 10 – it seems to be a pattern of mine that the first night in an urban setting knocks me out in a sort of stupor.

I check my emails for urgent updates and Yahoo informs me we have a hung parliament! A historic moment. It feels good; if a little sad that still so few vote liberal. I have voted for the first time; it never seemed worth it before. I am happy with the result; it feels like a more honest representation.

I am astonished as I leave Dorking on the Thames Down Link to walk through, and spend the entire day walking though beautiful countryside. All my assumptions about these places that have hitherto been simply place names around and about London have been challenged and blown apart. I am delighted.
