Your work Richard is coffee table book quality.
You need to pair up with an expert on the history of your district and produce a professional publication.

I would certainly be in line to purchase an autographed copy.

Thanks Good karma, Skimonkey, and AdmiralAdama for your kind comments. We have grown to know and enjoy the area in which we live. I'm sure I have some more walks to share :)

Thank you Richard, you live in such a beautiful town. I was wondering what allotments are. Do people get extra gardens? We're they composers on all the plots?

These were so great I feel like I've had a nice morning walk.
