Thomas Colpeper, JP:
Well, there are more ways than one of getting close to your ancestors. Follow the old road, and as you walk, think of them and of the old England. They climbed Chillingbourne Hill, just as you. They sweated and paused for breath just as you did today. And when you see the bluebells in the spring and the wild thyme, and the broom and the heather, you're only seeing what their eyes saw. You ford The same rivers. The same birds are singing. When you lie flat on your back and rest, and watch the clouds sailing, as I often do, you're so close to those other people, that you can hear the thrumming of the hoofs of their horses, and the sound of the wheels on the road, and their laughter and talk, and the music of the instruments they carried. And when I turn the bend in the road, where they too saw the towers of Canterbury, I feel I've only to turn my head, to see them on the road behind me

Follow the old road and as you walk
00:00:06.561 --> 00:00:08.482
think of them and of the old England

00:00:11.208 --> 00:00:15.597

00:00:15.598 --> 00:00:18.434
And when you see the bluebells in the spring
00:00:18.435 --> 00:00:21.637
and the wild time the broom in the header
00:00:21.638 --> 00:00:24.157
you're only seeing what their eyes saw
00:00:24.158 --> 00:00:28.268
You follow the same rivers same birds are singing
00:00:28.269 --> 00:00:31.257

and watch the clouds sailing as I often do
00:00:35.072 --> 00:00:38.803

00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:41.777
that you can hear the thrumming
00:00:41.778 --> 00:00:43.784
of the hooves and their horses
00:00:43.785 --> 00:00:46.143
and the sound of their wheels on the road
00:00:46.144 --> 00:00:48.477
and their laughter and talk
00:00:50.405 --> 00:00:54.292
and the music of the instruments they carried
00:00:54.293 --> 00:00:56.062
And when I turn the bend of the road
00:00:56.621 --> 00:01:00.002
where they too saw the towers of Canterbury
00:01:00.058 --> 00:01:02.565
I feel I've only to turn my head
00:01:02.566 --> 00:01:05.399
to see them on the road behind me
