(A doctor interrupts Westcountry Brauntons visit) A self diagnosis from a television series of Doc Martin of St Isaac or Portwenn some time ago on Prostate cancer, Diverted me after my appointment to a rather distant shot than i would of hoped for of the English Riviera express! Heading for Kingswear! My picture spans the far river bank, Over the Ship canal and Brunel’s insistence to follow the estuary to avoid the Haldon hills! I say sod the grace of trains weaving left then right of years gone by! You go A to B at a sensible speed! You don’t need aircraft speed, You simply go as the crow flies! Not the skylark! You don’t remember Z bends around obstinate land owners fields years ago? They ploughed money into trains that Tilted when rounding bends? Fiddlesticks! Go A to B! Maybe bullet train should be seen as descriptive! I do waffle on so! I give you Braunton at great distance! God bless her! And my Amazon order of coffee pods just arrived! Isn’t modern life wonderful!
