Gridlock

Amersham to Great Missenden
2 July 2017
7 people
26 km; 16 miles








The undulating topography of a patchwork landscape
Forests and fields of wheat flowing into each other
Like the black and white squares of a chequerboard
The tall wheat ready for the summer harvest time.

A midsummer festival in each small town around
Open gardens of Little Missenden drew crowds
Navigating their motors through narrow country lanes
Brought to a standstill through lack of car parks.

So remember, you lovers of local floral displays
A car can only travel from one car park to the next
If you wish to take pleasure in gardens galore
Try leaving the limo safely behind in its space
And experience the beauty of the wheat in the fields
and the cool delight of woodland paths as you walk.
