Dear All Greetings from London. We have just had a lovely, three-day Bank Holiday weekend at the beginning of May, and I took advantage of having the extra day by completing something that I started probably over three years ago now. I completed “Walk 4” in my 1998 book “Country Walks Around London” – yay! I bought this book second-hand from an Amnesty International Second-Hand booksho... Read Full Entry

Travelling Again
Hi Alex - Really enjoyed following you along on your last two blogs - its great that we can now travel a little bit again have missed it so much, however there is so much to see right on our very own doorsteps. I to struggle with meeting dogs on walks and nowadays you hear lots of reports of cows being not too friendly to walkers! Have done many a detour to avoid them where possible. Particularly liked hearing about your birding experience at Rainham Marshes in your last blog - will have to add it to my list of UK Reserves to visit as I do love watching wildlife and particularly birds, we have a couple of Sparrowhawks nesting in our local reserve in Winchester and watching them has kept me sane during the current lockdown period. We are hoping to head off to Wales next month all being well - oh what a treat that will be ... ... Happy Travels Sheila

Travelling Again
Hi Sheila. Thank you for your lovely and encouraging comment, and indeed, it is lovely now to be able to travel just that little bit more again. Glad to read I'm not the only one who makes detours to avoid cows and their fields, and also that I'm not the only one who doesn't like encountering dogs. I'm glad to hear the sparrowhawks were something that kept you sane during these times. I think many of us have learnt to appreciate the smaller things in life more than we had done before. I like to make a detour or two sometimes on my walks home from work, to walk down a street I may not have walked down before. Wales next month sounds wonderful, I look forward to hopefully reading about it soon. Take care, and happy travels too :) Alex.

Chesham Heritage Trail

How I love hiking in farm country
We've made some hikes ourselves in country similar to where you were and we absolutely loved it. Seems like you enjoyed it too. And you don't have to be afraid of cows. Be careful is good, but you don't have to be afraid. /Ake

Blogs Abound
I've missed travel so thank you for your word pictures and taking us along on this exploration. I also am happy people are beginning to blog again as our reading choices over the past months have been it and miss. I'm excited people are out embracing the world. This sounds like a lovely part of England.... so glad you found that book. Enjoy.

Blogs
Thanks Merry. I'm also catching up on blogs, and enjoying reading people's perspectives on their own countries and local travels. It helps us all, I think, to get out there and explore in some way at this tricky time.
