That's a lovely photo, Jan. I think that Wicken Fen is one of those
with a spinney of wind turbines now installed. There's another
northeast of March, one north of Ramsey and another northeast of
Peterborough. I can see another one near Somersham as I taxi out to
the runway at Wyton.
So, the Fens are doing their bit to reduce expenditure of fossil
