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.
