Ministry: doing things the right way

The road across the county of Rutland from Stamford to Leicester via Oakham and Melton Mowbray is one Mrs R and I know well.

Comment Adrian Reynolds

She went to university in Cambridge and I attended Loughborough, so we were often travelling back and forth along it. The road winds past Rutland Water and through some pretty Leicestershire villages made from honey-coloured stone – including the village of Whitwell.
