A walk in the other direction

The National Forest Way

Today I turned left onto The National Forest Way.

The path this way was quite overgrown in places with brambles and stinging nettles, and when it came to crossing some of the fields, the path was just visible. You also have to walk past a sign saying the way is a private gated road – no access – I ignored that.

Swarbourne Meadows

However there was a viewing platform – a small view as I am sure the trees have grown since it was installed, but a good spot for a coffee.

Writing today

I have written articles for both Cyberawake and Octagon today – but outside on the balcony in the good weather.

Wychnor Park Country Club - working on the balcony

Of course the writing was helped by coffee – today iced coffee made in a Turkish style with ginger and little dark brown sugar.
