Hello 👋 Roadside Picnic subscribers. I am Richard, and this is my newsletter on photography and overlooked spaces. Today’s route Bank holiday visitors cram the car park and spill out into the road filling the verges with vehicles baking in the sun. By the brook, a passive argument ensues about a loose dog. The dog, a happy Jack Russel, is accused of scaring a toddler paddling in the water. Further down the Brook, people patiently queue to pass the narrow, sometimes wet, eroded pathway. Giving up, we scramble out the brook to the higher route, a deserted level driveway.
