sometimes we just want to get out and about.

With the arrival of Spring, I  felt greatly encouraged to get out and about and walk around London.  Alas My first walk/ bike ride in a while was from Brixton to the South Bank Centre on what promised to be an extremely polluted day! 

It was very warm and a grey mist hung over London. Firstly I cycled round the back streets to Waterloo. I know the route pretty well, so I know where to lock up the bike in  Waterloo.

I intended to work inside the South Bank Centre, but I gave up on that, due to the festival hall hosting some kids’ dance /music events.  It was The young loud crowd, certainly not the haven I was looking for.

Instead, with a change of plan I walked over to Covent Garden to get myself a t-shirt, then walked back over Charing Cross bridge to Waterloo to pick up the bike and cycle back & to Brixton. A general day to day walk for me. 

Walking around and in Blackheath/ Greenwich

Another day out and about in London, an easy walk from Blackheath down to Greenwich Market. Greenwich Market

I picked up some great illustrated cards from THE DM Collection wwww.thedmcollection.com and had some lunch.

Back along the embankment near Vauxhall

Having walked about Greenwich, we decided to take the clipper ferry to the Embankment;  From there we strolled about and as it was such a lovely day we, decided to walk to Brixton.

The day after I joined up with the Finchley walking group from Highgate to Angel which was about 6 miles.

it’s all about walking and things along the way

Additionally Last Sunday I walked 11 miles with the South Bank Walking Group in the Guildford area.

The month of  May looks to be promising, I’m working as a poll clerk in the General Election, then flying to Berlin the following day for a short break.
