Our bread it is white and our ale it is brown

Well, I had a thoroughly surreal hour in the middle of my day. I went a-wassailing in Stanford Dingley with OBJ.

( Wassail, wassail all over the to-own. )

The best bit is that, despite Standford Dingley being hidden in a tangled mess of white roads south of the M4[*], I managed to get both to it and from it without getting lost. How ? With my trusty Berkshire A-Z.

For too long I've relied on a few print-out maps from multimap/google or (worse) directions from multimap/google. Things never work out as expected, the maps are wrong, the directions are wronger, you find you haven't printed the right pages at the right level of detail, you get diverted... This time I looked at my A-Z last night, calculated a route, and followed it without hitch. And if I had hit a hitch, I had a map of all of Berkshire in glorious detail to sort myself out again. A-Z's are great.

[*] Probably quite close to the uitlander's stamping ground, I noticed on my return journey. Apologies for not noticing this earlier and flagging up any interested parties.
