Yes, l...I'll try to remember my camera, Friko.<br /><br />Yes, life is good walking in the English countryside, Bonnie. I feel lucky. Did you know there are 638 long distance paths in the UK? (At least, according to my 2002 Harvey's Wallchart of the Long Distance Paths of Britain. There are probably more than that number now.) Some are National Trails; others are a mixture of regionally organised waymarked and unwaymarked routes. This extensive public footpath network is one of the great joys of Britain.<br /><br />Enjoy your walks too, am ...<br /><br />... and Ruth, although I prefer in an ideal world to walk a trail from start to finish in one go, it's usually not possible to do that, so sneaking off and doing little bits here and there is a great compromise! My wife Carmen is also walking with me on some of these half-day trips, so it's nice to have some company for a change.<br /><br />Emilene - thanks for visiting! Although it's not spectacular landscape round here, it's quite pretty in parts, in a gentle sort of way.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-24471162975073046702011-05-07T07:31:46.045+01:002011-05-07T07:31:46.045+01:00What beautiful scenery - right on your doorstep!

I read these names aloud to my husband, and he said, "Shut up!" — which means, we love England and would love to walk through these villages and scenes.<br /><br />It's early for the horse chestnuts here, and boy do they make the eyes itch.<br /><br />We call rapeseed oil canola oil. It's beautiful there growing like mustard.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-20988114430000388102011-05-07T00:42:53.692+01:002011-05-07T00:42:53.692+01:00I like that mosaic.
