There is always room for improvement, trying to get beyond: "I rode down this road, turned, stopped at a cafe etc." but I may have to quit altogether soon because I've heard someone called Hemingway has joined VC167.
Are the teasels the long stalks with the little brown maracas on the top? Perhaps you can help me with another bit of roadside flora... I wasn't able to identify the source of an overwhelming floral smell which surrounded me somewhere between Kirkby Fleetham and Great Langton. There is a little bridge over the Swale and at first I thought it was wild garlic, then I wondered if it was honeysuckle. The problem is that I'm not well educated in flower-lore and also... this is September not April, so what flowers would be blooming now and giving off such an immersive smell? Carol suggested it could simply have been perfume, but it would be a weird for someone to stop and spray themselves with aromatic hydrocarbons in such an isolated place. "I smelt some flowers": not much to go on is it, but any ideas Peter?
