Despite the dense population, there are plenty of rural places to walk outside of the big cities. Given the political situation in the USA, I envy you for being Canadian and for having such a marvelous PM.<br /><br />Stacy, it is lovely indeed.<br /><br />Amanda, I'm happy to rekindle fond memories. <br /><br />ACiL, if you bike/travel to Oxford before we leave in mid May, let me know. It is stressful being a parent of teen drinkers but at least yours won't be driving too. Good luck!<br /><br />troutbirder, you owe yourself a return trip without any responsibilities. <br /><br />Cynthia, thanks!

And road-cycling, of course, as my latest post attests. On which...<br /><br />I have actually thought of cycling the whole way from home to Cambridge and from home to Oxford. Honestly. I think that after I'm done with my marathon run in April, I will take to my two-wheeler full time at the weekend.<br /><br />On another note, I am dreading my teen reaching sixteen next month because of alcohol. Yet, I believe she is quite responsible and mature for her age, so, hopefully she will be able to handle her drink.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-5329017890851287012017-02-22T14:25:34.535-05:002017-02-22T14:25:34.535-05:00Brings back memories of my childhood spent in Surr...Brings back memories of my childhood spent in Surrey.

I like the public footpaths you show -- how wonderful. Such a great break from the ugly-ness of all things Trump. Even in Canada we hear too much of it here. Enjoy your time in the UK. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.com
