  • I have long been interested in landscape history, and when younger and more robust I used to do much tramping of the English landscape in search of ancient field systems, drove roads, indications of prehistoric settlement.

Moreover, they were hampered in their movements by the need to protect their uniquely immature young - juicy meals for any hungry beast.
