A 'nice' place in Cambridge to rent. Click the map and you see it's what... 50m from the A14 - that being a major East-West road that goes from the port of Felixstowe to roughly the centre of England, where the industrial bits tend to be found.

So... the people living in that flat would be on medication because of noise-related stress within a year? Six months, possibly?

I guess I'm struck by how this part of France is essentially silent^*. I know when I return from Canada, the UK seems dank, muggy and crushingly crowded. I have a notion that this time, upon my return next week, will also feel shreekingly abrasive.


* Excepting the occasional tractor, the daily bread delivery van, birds, and hunters w. shotguns trying to do something about the birds. Though that's only on Sunday mornings. And I've not heard them myself on account of the two-foot thick stone walls.
