I seem to have done quite a few miles and quite a few county borders today. Let’s see…
Cambridgeshire
Huntingdonshire (half a real one!)
Northamptonshire
Buckinghamshire
Oxfordshire (when do you use Oxon. i’ve often wondered?)
Northamptonshire again
Derbyshire
Leicestershire
Rutland (half a real one!)
Lincolnshire
Cambridgeshire again.
Beautiful moonlit night though and a gorgeous wintery day. Perfect for driving and for the distribution/collection of daughters.
Sarah says
Oxon – on envelopes, generally!
Claire says
Trying to work when you went through Bucks? Glad you’re back safe.
Alison says
You’d use Oxon whenever you’d use cambs, Hunts, Northants, Bucks, Derbs * , Leics, Lincs etc 😉
* – yeah, I made that up. What do you shorten Derbyshire to?
I was quite impressed to go through Northamptionshire today, wasn’t expecting that.
Alison says
Northamptionshire, lol!
Jax says
Derbs 🙂
merry says
Derbs just sounds silly though, doesn’t it!
Carol says
Wow, sounds like a busy but lovely day, I love it when I get the chance to travel like that.
Alison says
lol, yeah, sounds too silly 😆 What about Ruts? Is that real too?
merry says
Giggle, no, i think the people of Rutland are too posh. Mind you, while i think a person from Cambs can say Derbs sounds silly, i’m not at all sure a person from Berks can! 😉
Sarah says
Lol, and reading this I think I’m glad I live in Devon! don’t go trying to shorten that one!
