For several years, members of the CWC have had the pleasure of being guided through the English countryside by Hugh Dyer-Westacott. On Thursday this past week, I was finally able to match a free day with one of Hugh's walks and am so glad I did.
On one of the nicest days we've had this year we passed by gorgeous bluebells in the woods, lambs bouncing after their mothers, a few 'escaped' roosters hiding out under some shrubs....and after lunch at a beautiful old pub in Chiddingstone, we even paused to hear a distant cuckoo. A very brief highlight near the end of the day came when a herd of deer raced past an opening in the trees just to our left - they were so quiet we almost missed seeing them!
With just the right balance of talk and laughter on the wider paths matched with some quiet time for thinking on the more narrow paths, we all felt tired but thoroughly refreshed after our day in the country. Many, many thanks to Hugh for his planning and organisation of our wonderful walk!
