Choosing the long way

Today was the day for one of my regular excursions to the end of the M50 to meet up with one of my Welsh friends from the days when we were both training to be teachers.  1970s!  It was a very grey and wet journey down the motorway, no chance of a Blip there, so I decided to take the scenic route home through Ledbury, Malvern and Worcester.  The idea was to stop somewhere but when it came to it, I hadn't got the energy to stop and walk anywhere so this was the opportunist Blip waiting at some traffic lights at a very narrow little junction in Ledbury.  It's a lovely route home but takes about twice as long as the motorway so I won't be making that my default route in future.
