Walking is the great adventure, the first meditation, a practice of heartiness and soul primary to humankind,. Walking is the exact balance between spirit and humanity.

The sun was out and the Autumn colours of Hodnet gardens were calling me. I had lunch in the afternoon sunshine before a quick walk around the gardens. Due to my time limitation I couldn’t linger as long as would usually which meant I had to miss out parts of the garden but what I saw was wonderful.
And there are still a few more opportunities for me to visit again before the gardens close for the season.

Climb up on some hill at sunrise. Everybody needs perspective once in a while, and you’ll find it there.

Trunch Parish Church is the Grade I listed[4] 14th-century church of St Botolph.[5] The church is famous for its carved and painted wood font canopy featuring lower panels with paintings of the twelve Apostles, a cornice including a Latin inscription, and above six arches filled with tracery.[6] Only four such canopies still exist in England.[citation needed] St Botolph’s also features a hammerbeam roof with carved angels, as well as medieval misericords under the seats in the chancel. Another medieval survival is the rood screen depicting 11 disciples and St Paul (their faces were scratched out during the Reformation). Lord Nelson’s daughter is said to have been married in the church.
In 1589 Robert Thexton became the rector of Trunch. While at Cambridge University, Thexton had been the room-mate of Christopher Marlowe the famous, and infamous, Elizabethan playwright.[7]
