Wanderings

Come and join me on my Wanderings. Where will we go and what will we experience on our mini-adventures - the joy of walking in an ancient woodland, having random conversations with strangers. Perhaps, we will be exploring country churches and churchyards - a wealth of interest there! Other times, we will be just soaking up an atmosphere and make observations from an idyllically peaceful village green whilst having a cuppa from our trusty thermos - or on occasions testing out the local village pub!

Any observations or questions are welcome - so, please do email me
