A sense of direction

Well then, to cut a long story short, it's just about time to leave Utrecht behind and see if England has changed in the two decades since J lived there for a while and the couple of months since A had an extended stay. Though we hear the occasional grumble that the English are distinctly un-modern, I do think we should get a newer map.

To answer the most-frequently asked question ('So where to?'): Sheffield. There's not much else of a plan (apart from two weeks of temporary housing). Everyone that I've spoken to there assures us that arranging matters on arrival is going to be easiest. We'll see.

The map image is a cut out of this map by Gerard Mercator, which was published by Hendrik Hondius in 1628 or 1633. The map reproduction is courtesy of the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library. If you want to play around with older maps, this is a nice page to play around with
