(Walked on 14th March 2017 – 15.5 Miles) I woke to a grey sullen dawn, in a grey sullen mood. OK, OK, I admit it, OK? I wasn’t having fun. This was not the best walk of my life. After only four or five hours’ sleep, I was tired and I was despondent. And sullen. […]
(Walked on 13th March 2017 – 15 Miles + 3.5 getting lost) On a chilly-sunny March morning, we pulled into the small carpark at Overton Hill and the start of The Ridgeway. I hauled my rucksack from the boot, clasped it to my back, hugged partner, hugged son, said my goodbyes and waving over my […]
After mulling over which long-distance path to walk for my 2017 hiking holiday, I decided to revisit my first love, The Ridgeway. I first attempted to walk all of this path in 1981, failed, but then succeeded the following year. And if, as a newbie, I had found both experiences challenging, it also hooked me […]
The Anxious Gardener 
Hi Tracy (I was thinking, who's AG? Poor lass is confused, they're not my initials. Duh). Mortified that Jim sent out that email. We had words! Made another 4 nest boxes yesterday, that's 11 in total so they better had start nesting soon.
Big Night Out soon – have you been learning lyrics?

Katherine, hi. Which one would you like? I'll wrap it up in brown paper and pop it in the post. No charge.

That's a proper spring sight, won't be long and they'll be plenty more along. I have to disappoint you on the TV suggestion. I think that many of the people are coming through Blotanical, a directory of gardening websites that I registered with a couple of days ago. It's really interesting and worth taking a look at.

Dear AG, your lamb photos have cheered me up no end after a cheerless day at work and with a 7.30am train to London looming..
Spring is coming! Our Robins are definitely nesting in our side wall. I'm a bit worried as it is quite early but the RSPB site has lots of reports of nesting birds I guess due to the mild weather. Off to buy mealworms on Thursday for them.
You have left out of your profile what a competent gardener you are and that you don't spend all day holding your head…
