A visit to Coombe Abbey Park

Haven't been to this Warwickshire country park for at least twenty years. It was interesting to reconnect with it and revisit places I last strolled in the company of my late Grandparents. This part of the park I remember seeing when brand new.... some bits the same, others much changed. 

On the way back I went underneath the memorable "spaceship" bridge that carries the M6 motorway above a local road. Seeing its angular concrete under the February sunshine I am suddenly in the passenger seat of my Grandpa's 1990 Ford Fiesta...

Such nostalgia from me today!

Also today another fantastic day of radio! As I write I'm listening to the leap version of BBC Radio 4's PM with former presenter Valerie Singleton co-presenting with regular Eddie Mair. Today also marks the launch of 18 new stations on the second national commercial multiplex, Sound Digital D2.
