In search of Boudicca's Needle



On this spot the great warrior queen, seeing all was lost, took poison rather than surrender to the Roman legions. This obelisk, however, only memorialises DAVE.



Breach Barns. Stumbling through snow covered fields from the scenic reassurance of Upshire to a harsher landscape. Industrial agriculture. Mobile home village - entranched temporary architecture its own bus stop. White vans. Fierce, muscled dogs.  Internalised signs that this is not our land. No sights to see, business done off stage.




Jesus, what goes on in there? Bodies on meathooks? Lithuanian brothel? Gypsy death camp? It's somewhere to store farm equipment.


The reassuring nature of dead industrial heritage. Let's get to the pub.
