I was tired this morning. Although the B and B was good in many ways, the hot tub being a notable plus, there hadn't been much money...

Our hotel last night was quite smart, unlike most of the places I've been in. This formality meant that it wasn't a place to chat to...

For those reading this looking forward to blue skies and breathtaking scenery, sadly you'll be disappointed today. It's been very grey...

Increasingly, I'm regarding last year's walk as joined to this. I'm obviously aware of the ten month hiatus in between the end of one...
