“Aaah, that’s more like it, this is more our pace,” were our words as we arrived in Greenwich and began walking through its quiet streets and parks. We decided to limit our time spent on a train today and explore one location, so Greenwich was our destination for the day. En route, we stopped at... Continue Reading →

Saturday, July 25 A day to wear out the shoe leather, or rather the sandal rubber, as we took to the paths, parks and pavements and explored far and wide. We headed to the swanky part of town to explore Regent’s Park, which was a beautiful park with a bit of everything - lovely rose... Continue Reading →

The ride out of Cambridge was a nice one, along the river, through the back streets and we mingled with the multitude of cyclists... Continue Reading →

I got to enter another 10K today, which was a lot of fun. I ran the Race for Life, which are a series of events held in many different locations and they raise money for cancer research. The sun shone and we made our way back to Parkers Piece, where we had watched a cricket... Continue Reading →

Excuse me…no thank you…no thank you…excuse me…sorry… That was today’s chorus! The plan for the day was to roam around Cambridge, a city I had envisioned as historic, cobbled, genteel and full of cyclists. The sun shone again! We’re on a roll!
