Photographs

The matter now seems resolved…maybe!

No Photographs

Just a quickie.
For whatever reason, yet to be determined, I seem to have lost all my photographs attached to two entries.  Hope the matter is soon resolved.

A Gentle Wander

As the title suggests this was not a remotely ‘fast’ walk.  I never intended that it should be as I was looking for some mental and physical stroking.
Tuesday morning saw me near Peterborough and heading in a vaguely westerly direction with the idea of laying up somewhere peaceful and quiet.

I should not complain though for the last weekend was SO good [...]
