The Norfolk Coast Path

Oct 27, 2017Jun 23, 2019 / David Marsden / 12 Comments

I came to Norfolk late.  I was well into my forties when, one summer, my partner Jim and I made the long drive from our home in Sussex to that marvellous North Sea coast - marvellous at least until a cold, thick sea-mist rolled in and pushed us back home. Before the mist, we camped … Continue reading The Norfolk Coast Path

The South Downs Way: Day 6 – Southease to Eastbourne

Mar 26, 2017Jun 23, 2019 / David Marsden / 22 Comments

(23rd April 2016 – 17 miles + 3 additional miles) And so this was my final day on the South Downs Way; and if I had whinged and moaned about the weather yesterday, somebody took note.  It was cold, it was windy but the sun shone and I had more photogenic fluffy clouds than I could … Continue reading The South Downs Way: Day 6 – Southease to Eastbourne

The South Downs Way: Day 5 – Pyecombe to Southease 

Feb 26, 2017Sep 16, 2021 / David Marsden / 16 Comments

22nd April 2016 (15 miles + 1 mile) The sun refused absolutely to shine today but, given the good weather I'd enjoyed since Winchester, it would be unreasonable to grumble. I grumbled unreasonably.  You see, today's walk would lead me along a stretch of the South Downs Way I know very well and I wanted … Continue reading The South Downs Way: Day 5 – Pyecombe to Southease 

The South Downs Way: Day 4 – Amberley to Pyecombe

Jan 19, 2017Jun 23, 2019 / David Marsden / 10 Comments

(21st April 2016 – 20 miles) Yesterday had been a long, tiring day's walk but today would hardly be any easier.  Once again I had twenty miles to conquer and once again I was marching against the clock.  I'd arranged a 5pm rendezvous with my partner Jim at Pyecombe - from where he'd pick me … Continue reading The South Downs Way: Day 4 – Amberley to Pyecombe

The South Downs Way: Day 3 – South Harting to Amberley

Oct 30, 2016Jun 23, 2019 / David Marsden / 8 Comments

(20th April 2016 - 20 miles + 4 additional miles) Today was my longest and toughest on the SDW and, as I'd also arranged an early supper date with my sister, I was marching against the clock too. I woke early, packed, demolished a grand breakfast, paid my bill, pulled on my Meindl boots and … Continue reading The South Downs Way: Day 3 – South Harting to Amberley

Three Simple Ways To Encourage Insects Into Your Garden

Three Simple Ways To Encourage Insects Into Your Garden

I’ve always thought that if I can entice insects and wildlife into my garden, then well… I’m doing something right; even if I don’t always notice them, I’m doing something right. Of course, we all know that insect numbers are falling but, as depressing as that is, here are three simple steps we can take […]

We Made A Garden, Part 2

We Made A Garden, Part 2

Here’s more on the house and garden we bought in 2005 (and – spoiler alert – left in 2010). The front garden of the cottage was, as you can see, overgrown when we arrived and clearing the undergrowth was a major task. But hey, I didn’t care. I had my first greenhouse. As well as […]
