a terminus 

a rain soaked bus window

expedition to England

departure point 

east of Tilbury

a technical nowhere

the passenger ferry still operates

across the most northerly reach of the thames

cold snap in the air increases our anxiety

we skipped the light fandango

average house price at riverside heights is attractive

the increasing freight market we can accomdate it

a low expectation high yield market

frost turns to ice

high sided tipper trucks 

missed the turn off for rainham

non existent ancient fortress

car park monolith

cul de sacs are fancy dead ends

comes from a lomg line of scrap metal merchants

going back to the bronze age

"I'll give you bronze age mate"

the bare knuckle boys

tarmac layers off the books

the bite the swing the fist

first light
