Discovery

B6086 Grange Lane, South Yorkshire, early October 2010.   

It was a Saturday, either 3rd or the 10th, I don’t remember which one.   I was cycling along, minding my own business, when I saw something stuck in a tree.   Now normally the sight of rubbish in the countryside would not have come as much of a surprise.   However for some reason, perhaps because the podcast I was listening to happened to end at that time and for some reason the next one didn’t start up automatically, I stopped to have a look.   Because it was a wooden box in a tree, I reasoned that it couldn’t have been blown there by the wind, and fly tippers weren’t generally that tidy.   I propped my bike against the tree and pulled down the box.   In it were the journals.   It was a couple of hundred yards away from a place called Thundercliffe Grange, which is a fantastic name and I couldn’t resist naming the journals after it.   I have no evidence (yet?) that the Grange has any connection with the journals.
