Glynn from Blisworth, Northamptonshire



Glynn and Oscar

M2 and I met Glynn on our way back to the car. We’d just been tramping about fields and scrambling over stiles to look at bridges, trains, fields and the world from a different point of view. It was raining but that didn’t deter us. 

We saw Glynn and his dog, a bearded collie, as we headed back through the wheat fields to the road.

As is the way with most country folk we greeted each other and paused for a chat.

Glynn is an interesting man obviously full of curiosity and knowledge. He kindly shared some of this information on the adjacent railway lines, bridges, local villages and history of some village road names. He referred to himself as a ‘generalist’. Whilst we were talking his dog, Oscar, kept running off towards the tracks and barking at all the high speed trains that rushed by; a regular pastime by all account.

A fascinating and unexpected meeting with an intriguing person.
