putney heath Wimbledon common and Richmond park

Eleven of us had a lovely walk today, superbly led, as ever, by Bronwen, even though it was a bit chilly and very muddy in parts. So nice to explore the delights on our door-steps, but I shall remember, in future, that even London walks can benefit from walking poles (I skidded backwards down one wet slope and muddied my hands).

The only thing lacking was that Bronwen didn't manage to arrange any deer in Richmond Park or cows in Petersham Meadows, but this disappointment was more than cancelled out by a superlative spicy pumpkin and coconut soup at Petersham Nursery, which we all recommend very highly.

Happy New Year to everyone, and I hope you are all successfully fending off Omicron and any nasty colds.
