Early Saturday morning ride. Misty over the hills to start but soon brightened up. Lovely route. Shame the views of Watership Down & White Hill were a bit misty.
I had read somewhere that Oswald Mosely lived in or had property in East Woodhay but when I ask a couple of the locals if they knew which house it was, all I got was blank looks. Well, there's hardly going to be a Blue Plaque there now!! Oh, and one of the chaps I spoke to in the church car park corrected my pronunciation of East Woodhay........it's said as 'East Woody'. Bet he thought....bloody tourist!
