An autobiographical piece about how the writer's interest in place was triggered by being driven around south Wiltshire, west Hampshire and north Dorset by his father, a biscuit salesman. The infant Meades would wander round down in a spirit of untutored curiosity and amazement at everyday things. Loci include the 'floated' meadows of the Avon valley, Sherborne Castle, Southampton Water, sunken lanes, B-roads to nowhere and Mudeford, home of the crab sandwich. (50 min Abroad Again 2007)
