For today’s walk I’m driving out into the Buckinghamshire countryside about 13 miles from home. Just a short drive, but an adventure in itself, as these country lanes were not built for two cars to pass. Winding along with high hedges either side there’s no chance of seeing what’s ahead. I just hold my breathContinue reading “Come walk with me in the land of the flying car”

Come walk with me to Littlewick Green
Here we go again on our coronavirus travels around our home town of Maidenhead. Today’s walk takes us on a circuit around the idyllic village of Littlewick Green. What a great name. We’ve actually never been here before, but it’s rather lovely. As the name suggests, there’s a very lush village green, ringed with substantialContinue reading “Come walk with me to Littlewick Green”
Come walk with me to Bray and back
Today I’m continuing my strategy of blogging about what’s close to home. What else can you do during lockdown? We’re back on The Green Way, but heading south this time, towards the village of Bray. You might have heard of it – it’s otherwise known as Heston’s Kingdom! Bray is not the kind of placeContinue reading “Come walk with me to Bray and back”
Come walk with me…part 2
I’m trying very hard to keep on blogging throughout lockdown. My strategy is to share with you some of the glorious countryside close to where I live in Berkshire, which makes walking and running a joy regardless of what’s going on in the news. For today’s walk, we’re starting at Cookham Moor and heading throughContinue reading “Come walk with me…part 2”
Come walk with me…part 1
It’s been harder than I thought, keeping up a travel blog in lockdown. Writing about past holidays whilst being forced to cancel future overseas trips (three so far, sob!), is just a bit depressing if I’m honest. But I don’t want to give up on blogging. Surely it won’t be long before we get backContinue reading “Come walk with me…part 1”
My favourite places: Bruges
While we’re all in this strange situation of being confined to a small geographical area, I’m going to indulge myself every week by thinking, ‘Where do I want to revisit today?’ And then writing about it. It will be a great test of my memory, and almost as good as actually going there in theContinue reading “My favourite places: Bruges”
Travels in my neighbourhood: The ancient woods of Burnham
It’s going to be tricky writing a travel blog when travel in or out of the country is banned right now. A chance to talk about what’s close at hand? You bet! This is my opportunity to show that I can still be a great travel blogger without going very far. In today’s blog, I’mContinue reading “Travels in my neighbourhood: The ancient woods of Burnham”
A voyage through Vietnam
It’s a cold and damp March day when I start writing this. Yes, again. So I decided to write about one of my favourite places, Vietnam, in a bid to transport myself somewhere hot and vibrant. Hopefully it will work! No chance of actually getting on a plane right now… Everyone knows about Vietnam forContinue reading “A voyage through Vietnam”
Need a reason to come home? Get a dog.
The worst part about a holiday is always coming home. Back in the day, Tony and I would drive home to Yorkshire from a sunshine-and-wine-drenched holiday in France, griping all the way. You could guarantee the sky would turn grey somewhere in the middle of the Channel. And why was it that French motorway serviceContinue reading “Need a reason to come home? Get a dog.”
Rambling around Reykjavic
We’d booked a weekend in the Icelandic capital last Summer, and I was looking for ideas on what to do there. Go horse riding. See the waterfalls. Ride a snowmobile through the countryside. Everything suggested was well outside the city, and involved a few hours of transportation and joining groups of other tourists. Hmmm… IContinue reading “Rambling around Reykjavic”
