I had jobs to do today, but the sun was out, the sky was cloudless and blue and it was reasonably warm.
Who knows how many days like this before Winter so jobs abandoned and decided to take the Spitty to see my Mother, 65 miles away near Colchester.
In more mundane transport, this would be a blast down the M11 and across the A120 but this called for a drive across country through the glorious Suffolk/Essex borders, following the old trunk road route that would have taken lorries from the Midlands to the east coast ports before the current A14 & M11 were built. Great roads from Duxford through Haverhill, Halstead, Earls Colne. Must have been a nightmare in a truck but great fun in a Spitfire and not much traffic.
Back to the jobs tomorrow π
