Suffolk is old home ground for us but Africa and Asia are where our children have grown up. Did I say they have never seen snow before now? I now do a series of school runs through narrow country lanes. I slow down for horses, enormous tractors, a pack of sixty-plus, free-ranging beagles from a local kennels. I slow down for ice, or I nearly spin off the road (a couple of times). When there is nobody behind me I slow down to look at scarecrows, fields, trees and endless sky and as here, old farm machinery that looks like abstract sculpture.
