See what I mean about just how green Essex is? At this point I remember being almost irritated that this was the case. The flight only lasted half an hour (just under fifteen minutes to get both there and back) and most of the time we only saw fields below us. And this isn't that far outside London, either. I think we were turning away from the Thames so that we could do a proper wide circulation of the city before we headed home. It does make you wonder why this seems like such a cramped, overcrowded country sometimes, when there's all this open, empty land. The finger points, of course, to he who owns it. Twas a smart man who first built a fence round a plot of land and said "Mine", as I've noted before.
