Walking Your Way to Health

Deer at Dunham Massey, Cheshire
Veronica, Thank you for the lovely stroll through built and natural environments. It's lovely to see the deer feeling so comfortable instead of being stressed over changed feeding habits, reduced habitat, speeding drivers and wasting disease. ...

Bacon’s Castle: 350th Arthur Allen House Anniversary, Surry, Virginia
Veronica, Virginia always has been strong on cultural and historic preservation. Perhaps it gets fueled by the Roanoke colonists of what was then Virginia but now is North Carolina getting lost, and Virginians not wanting a similar loss for ...

Macclesfield Forest, Cheshire
It would almost certainly be financial here in UK as to why there is only one handrail. :)
We do get early leaf fall in the NW of England sometimes but not so much this summer. It has been a fairly dull summer.
I am determined not to put ...

Macclesfield Forest, Cheshire
Veronica, Very nice early afternoon stroll for me here even though the forest steps probably look kind of challenging going up and more welcoming going down. Do you know why the handrail is just on one side?

Essex Days ; Tollesbury Trail, Essex
Veronica, Thank you for the afternoon stroll! Sometimes flat is very nice, for bicycling, running and walking.
Do you know if the lightship has any famous tales to tell, such as that of the Daunt in Ireland? Do you know what the skies look like ...

Flower Festival at Bramall Hall, Cheshire
Veronica, Thank you for sharing! The fireplace flames and flowers are especially fetching while the entry arrangement and the kitchen garden look particularly delicious. It's really difficult to imagine how the 1850's style gown was made since ...
