Mileposts at Morcott
It is highly unusual to get two turnpike mileposts in the same picture, but the start of the Deeping and Morcott turnpike – the milepost in the foreground happened to - almost – coincide with a milepost http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4912930 on the Uppingham to Peterborough road, visible in the background.

Risky manoeuvre on the A47
The black car ahead darted out between two cars ahead and also in front of the oncoming motorcyclist, rather than wait. My driver was already breaking in case of a collision.
