The Lake District
Agh. Once again, I fail dismally in my "I'll try to be better about posting and reading" resolution. I never even finished writing up our Cotswold Way holiday, and here we are, returned from another trip. I'm still writing it up, though. When in the Lake District, we were trying to remember details of our previous holiday there in 2017, and my then ( Read more... ) -
Following the acorn from winter to summer - part 1
Oh dear. I've really not done well with that whole "let's get back to reading and posting things here" resolution of two months ago. So here I am, returning to my usual habit of coming here only when I want to post another immensely long post-holiday write-up. Maybe I'll do better from now on ( Read more... ) -
One does not simply walk...
For a while now, Facebook has been giving me adverts for a Walking to Mordor virtual challenge, and I've been very tempted, but put off by the ridiculously high price. However, half way through January, I decided to give it a go. Ever since I finished my Walking All The Paths project a couple of years ago, I've done rather less walking than I used ( Read more... ) -
The Steve Who Was Promised
I've not been here for months. I dimly planned to rectify this with a New Year's Resolution, but forgot or failed to. So I'll just have to pretend it's 1751 and we're still starting the year on March 25th, in which case, go me!, I'm two days early - gold star, pat on the back, and so on ( Read more... ) -
A holiday in the Peak District
One day I will post something that isn't a belated holiday write-up, but today is not that day. Once again, there will be far too many words and pictures, and a good few comical lions. There is also a guest appearance by my other favourite art thing: the drunken eagle ( Read more... ) -
Comical lions and the Other Place
A few weeks ago, we had a long weekend in Cambridge for our wedding anniversary, going there by way of Hatfield House and returning via Audley End. Typically, most of my pictures ended up being comical lions.
( Comical lions, grumpy angels, a heron, a Wheel of Doom, and some towers ) -
Hadrian's Wall
The week before last, we walked Hadrian's Wall. This being a National Trail, it meant following the sign of the acorn. Within a few hours, we started calling this "the unicorn," accidentally at first, but soon deliberately. "Hadrian's Wall Path" became "Hadrian's warpath," so here is an account, with pictures, of our adventures following the ( Read more... ) -
Dancing and walking
The weekend before last, we had a day trip to Chichester for a Day of Dance. We'd intended to go by train from Southampton, but then they announced a train strike. Pellinor keeps a car on the mainland, so the choices were, A, drive there and back, with him having No Beer! at a Morris event! :-O B, go with the rest of the side on an epic journey ( Read more... ) -
Another belated holiday write-up, but only a month late, this time
Yesterday I posted 8 months late about a short holiday we had in Jersey last October. By that standard, today's post is barely late at all, since it's about a holiday we had in early May, in the Wye Valley ( Read more... )
