memelainaYesterday we missed what is probably ou only chance in life to visit the town of Washbrook Copdock. Instead we took the back roads through Thetford, Ipswitch, Ixworth, and Downing Market to avoid a road closure on the A14 and get to Ely from the north. We are now seated at the Minster Tavern awaiting the delivery of steak and ale pie with chips and mushy peas. I am drinking cider. Just outside the door the lantern tower of Ely Cathedral rises over us. Photos to follow.
Then on the way from Ely to Corby where we are staying next we took the backest of back roads. Not even B roads. Roads that only had names - Forty Foot Bank (through the fens) to Witchwyth Over to the Ramsey Road towards Wayton Minor. When we arrived at the hotel I took back the phone to check what was happening and found that Kent had us using pedestrian mode rather than driving mode. We had just had a lovely walking tour of East Anglia.
He says it is my fault because I changed the map to pedestrian mode when we were in Ely. He might even be right. But he COULD have changed it back. Really.
