Home fires burning

A very homely weekend was to be had at TOH's parent's chocolate-box cottage in the country - crackling fires, good food cooked in the aga and a 7.5mile walk up hill, down dale and through the woods.

All excellent practice for Hadrian's Wall and a chance to break in my new walking boots. Poor old TOH though, he has now discovered his are too small! So if anyone wants a pair of top-notch walking boots, men's size 9, only worn twice, let me know.
