First Spring walk through the woods
We took a walk in Windsor Great Park on Sunday. It was a little cool, and there wasn’t much in bloom yet (only a few daffodils). Still, we had two lovely hours in the fresh air and sunshine. As soon as we got into the car, however, it started to sprinkle. And as soon as [...]
Time Out Country Walk #24: Cookham (Round Walk)
Ah, a photo-heavy post. You’ll excuse me while I indulge in one. You see, I haven’t posted a lot of photos lately as I’ve been a little burned out with my camera. But this beautiful walk deserves these photos. I took 223 pictures yesterday and narrowed down my selection quite a bit as you can [...]
Time Out Country Walk 14: Gomshall to Guildford
Two Sundays ago, Mr. DJ wanted to go for a walk. When Mr. DJ says go for a walk, he means a long country walk that lasts at least four hours. Unfortunately, Roxi had not started her homework, so she and I had to stay home. However, Trudy was happy to volunteer to go and [...]
Bad Computer Karma and Catching Up
Another beautiful sunrise in England this morning. It’s getting cooler–lows in the mid-40s and highs in the mid-60s. We’re supposed to have four beautiful days in a row! That means sunshine :-). .1. Our print server/music studio/backup computer is dead. I don’t know if we wore it out with our 72-hour Hurricane Ike vigil, but [...]
¡Congratulacion España! and other things
Spain won the Euro 2008 Championship. Here are some loyal fans in Nuremberg, Germany. There were some really hardcore ones in Salzburg! Oh, I know, I’ve been so slow in posting my Germany photos. Now that Roxi is out for the summer it is hard to find three or four hours to sit down and [...]
We went for a walk on Saturday
One of the things we have learned in our time here is that if we are blessed with a sunny day, we must take advantage of it no matter what! Saturday was a beautiful, mild Spring day. After being cooped up for so long, a country walk was definitely in order. The only question was–where? [...]
Dreaded School Picture Day
Why do they schedule them after PE, at the end of the day? Weekend plans? After school, Roxi and I are going into the city to catch another show. And I think we’re going to try for another country walk on Saturday.
Country Walk from Box Hill to Leatherhead
We took walk #49 from the Time Out “Country Walks: 52 Walks within Easy Reach of London” edited by Nicholas Albery. This has been a great book for us, by the way. The directions are very clear, the toughness grades seem right, and best part of all, included are directions to lunch and tea! It’s [...]
Long weekend ahead
I found this rock on one of our hikes in Chamonix, France. It’s still there–on the Petit Balcon Sud trail, if you want to try to find it. We’ve a Bank Holiday coming up on Monday. Unfortunately for us, we have a school event to attend on Sunday, so no going out of town. If [...]
