Another Chapter opens for Glynis
On a beautiful sunny day in September we ended our walks with coffee and cake at the farm Kitchen at Swiss Farm in Henley https://farmkitchen.cafe/
It had been a challenge to find somewhere with outdoor space that could be covered if the weather was inclement, could accommodate us
and we trusted to be following the Covid rules. It turned out to be a good choice with the added benefit of introducing some of the group to
Bosley Patch farm Shop – recently featured in Countryfile with Mary Berry https://bosleypatch.co.uk/
They sell mainly organic produce grown in the nearby ‘patch’ so completely fresh and their shop is open 24 hours a day – self service.
It is our loss that after 5 years Glynis and her husband have left the area to pursue a housebuilding dream and be more involved in the care of their new grandson but we are hoping that they
will be back occasionally, join us on some of our long distance walks when circumstances allow these to resume, and join us in Austria in 2021.

Walks with Jock during Corona – where my poles took me
Walking with my dog is an opportunity for outdoor exercise and also to enjoy nature and the beautiful Chilterns.
Keeping up my fitness and Nordic walking technique are vital for the post Corona era and as we hopefully near an easing of restrictions it will soon be possible to once again share my knowledge of the area and assist others in enjoying Nordic Walking in the Chilterns https://www.visitchilterns.co.uk/

Last weekend we walked from home, down through Henley, Pack and Prime Lane, Greys Green golf course, Rotherfield Greys and back via Badgemore. The sun was glorious and we saw very few people
a couple of dog walkers and joggers easy to keep our distance.
Dawn Chorus with my Nordic Walking poles
This morning was International Dawn Chorus Day which meant an early start at 5.30am
It was a beautiful morning with a pink sky – from the garden I could watch the deer grazing contentedly
while I listened to the countryside awakening. The birdsong continued for more than 2 hours so we were able to make recordings from our ancient Chiltern wood, the Thames riverbank and Culden Faw woods above Hambleden
