Junctions
Sunday 7th October
So, the DSA test centre is at the point marked A, and the second most horrible junction in the world is at the point marked B.
This first most horrible junction in the world, of course, being this little gem in Swindon:
And in other news… well, similar news… well… different news but still vaguely related to my bike lessons… on today’s lesson we stopped for a break at a farm shop and they had… GOATS! Yes GOATS! I saw a picture up, so I asked the lady and she was dead passionate about them - they’re her favourite pets, and her husband won’t let her have a pygmy goat because she’s already got two normal sized goats and I’m going to go back when I have some time and say hello to them because they are ACE! Woo for the GOATS!
Oh good grief! The Magic Roundabout in all it’s glory!

Hey, hey, hey it’s MAGIC!
Almost makes me feel homesick. Almost.

I think I prefer the Hemel Hempstead equivalent of the Swindon one because it has a river running through the middle of it, and has six mini roundabouts instead of five. It’s relatively easy to navigate though:

Dead passionate is the way to be over GOATS!

I was lucky, Dean… it was completely empty when I hit it on a rainy Sunday evening… I did a few laps, then turned round and came back for more!
