The previous post detailed the mechanics of the journey. This one celebrates the lovely scenes en route.
I was surprised to find England looking so colourful. It's been a mild autumn, by all accounts, and there's still lots of stunningly coloured foliage on the trees.
First stop: Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
Full of attractive buildings
St Mary's, Hitchin. The present church goes back back to the 14th/15th centuries, but there's been a place of worship on this site since 792...
We overnighted in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, and went for a post-breakfast walk at the nearby Summer Leys Nature Reserve:
A wonderfully autumnal place
The first sunrise of the trip
A watery world
Other fauna and flora
When I lived in the UK, I was never a fan of autumn. But maybe I'm changing my mind...
