Surprising free-flowing traffic all the way. The plan to break the journey for a coffee is aborred because it has been raining all the way, light but still too wet to mooch around Brackley. However, old bladders don't travel well and Liz spotted a bizarre tea shop on the map just off a roundabout on the Kettering Ring Road.
Onwards! The wind on the A1 is blowing our high sided van somewhat and it's actually quite hard work. But again we are blessed with light traffic and soon we reach our destination.
That bucket list item, I'm sure many readers might have guessed, a small but token spit on the statue of an ex Prime Minister.
(I had decided that scattering bird seed so they would decorate that statue appropriately may have led to an arrest for littering)
To be fair, within seconds I was also able to doff my cap to a hero...
... although Sir Issac Newton is generally associated with an apple rather than a cherry tree!
Just a couple of miles away is our bed for the night, a pub car park
An Everards pub, in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide as a great community pub, and a good reputation for food, and they are happy for us to sleep in their car park. What's not too like?
A quick wander around the village of Great Gonerby
With its lovely church
We didn't spot any Clockpelters
But we did spot clocks, Ancient and Modern
and signs of the recent plague
Oh and today's trip?
