Well, it seems that highways and freeways are the same all over the world - slow, slow, quick, quick and slow some more. I was heading south on the M6 to the M5 and finally left this parking lot and got on the A44 to Evesham (the Garden of England) and a nice cuppatea and scones at the CafeCraycombe in Flatbury. It is here that the tables and chairs at which you have tea are all for sale and are made onsite (nice idea). After the superb clotted cream scones we thought about getting heavenly bodies, including a body blitz and a tums and bums at the next door gym - but, fortunately it was closed today.
The A44 is a nice route through beautiful countryside, villages and away from the M-roads. Another nice place to stop and shop is Burford and if you have a flyrod….cast around a little!
The Nomad continued south around Oxford and back into the M25 ring and more heavy traffic, but all in all it was a nice day on the road.
