The privilege of having green space so close to home is one I take for granted. Thanks for the reminder of the gift of living in such a verdant place.

I like the bit about stopping to photo a leaf & getting barged - sounds exactly right!

In retrospect, barging seemed inevitable. Worth it though.

It takes a steely determination and independence of mind to be the one who goes against "the hurry of the crowd" Dru. I felt like I was there with you 🙏

My own experience of London is similar, in that it was a place I loved to be in my 20s and 30s but it holds much less appeal these days.

I agree! I take it for granted sometimes too. It's good to remember.

Absolutely. Pausing to notice is so important. And I'm always reminded of Mary Oliver's observation that "the world offers itself to your imagination."
