The Ridgeway Path: Day 2 – Liddington to Wantage

Oct 4, 2021 / David Marsden / 2 Comments

(Walked on 14th March 2017 - 15.5 Miles) I woke to a grey sullen dawn, in a grey sullen mood. OK, OK, I admit it, OK? I wasn't having fun. This was not the best walk of my life. After only four or five hours' sleep, I was tired and I was despondent. And sullen. … Continue reading The Ridgeway Path: Day 2 – Liddington to Wantage

The Ridgeway Path: Day 1 – Overton Hill to Liddington

Jan 28, 2020Dec 6, 2020 / David Marsden / 17 Comments

(Walked on 13th March 2017 - 15 Miles + 3.5 getting lost) On a chilly-sunny March morning, we pulled into the small carpark at Overton Hill and the start of The Ridgeway. I hauled my rucksack from the boot, clasped it to my back, hugged partner, hugged son, said my goodbyes and waving over my … Continue reading The Ridgeway Path: Day 1 – Overton Hill to Liddington

St Oswald’s Way: Day 7 – Fenwick to Berwick-upon-Tweed

Jan 7, 2016Apr 26, 2019 / David Marsden / 9 Comments

(25th March 2014 - 10 miles) And so the end.  After fifteen consecutive days of walking across England, the finish tape was a hop, skip and jump away. But first I had a pressing engagement with a cooked breakfast ... and vowed not to have another for a long, long time.  I happily go months … Continue reading St Oswald’s Way: Day 7 – Fenwick to Berwick-upon-Tweed

St Oswald’s Way: Day 6 – Bamburgh to Fenwick

Dec 19, 2015Apr 25, 2019 / David Marsden / 13 Comments

(24th March 2014 - 12 miles + 1 mile off route) Studying the map, and between mouthfuls of a 'Four In A Bed' winning breakfast, we discussed the day's walk.  Neither Jim, Tracy nor I fancied going back down the road into Bamburgh and plumped instead on cutting across country on a lane through sheep … Continue reading St Oswald’s Way: Day 6 – Bamburgh to Fenwick

St Oswald’s Way: Day 5 – Embleton to Bamburgh

Dec 2, 2015Apr 25, 2019 / David Marsden / 11 Comments

(23rd March 2014 - 11 miles including 2 miles off-route) After an all right breakfast Jim, Tracy and I left The Blue Bell Inn - for ever - and set out on our short day's walk to Bamburgh. We passed quickly, quietly, hobbit-like through little Embleton, crossed the local golf course and returned to the … Continue reading St Oswald’s Way: Day 5 – Embleton to Bamburgh

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 […]
