Walk to Windsor

 

It’s the New Year’s Eve an my single rest day of the week I have the day to myself and that means a long walk. I wasn’t really feeling it if I’m honest and I was tempted to stay indoors and watch rubbish on you tube. But I did get my arse in gear in the end 

It’s really windy out and there’s a weather warning for tomorrow because of it. I’ve finished Stalingrad by Antony Beevor it’s a masterpiece of writing and I’m going to look out for a copy. I’ve started Russia, the story of the Russian revolution and civil war also by Antony Beevor there’s so much going on at the start it must have taken a long time to research. 

I got to Windsor and got my five guys just a little cheeseburger, fries and a biscoff shake. I sat upstairs and just chilled before walking home. I got just outside of Eaton and it became a hard slog but I made it. 7.5 miles now I’m going to chill and get ready for work tomorrow !

  ℬ𝒾𝓈𝒸𝑜𝒻𝒻 𝒷𝒾𝓈𝒸𝓊𝒾𝓉 𝒶𝓃𝒹 ℳ𝑜𝒸𝒽𝒶 On the way home from the gym I really wanted a pasty for tea tonight so after a healthy lunch I went to the Windsor farm shop to get an old Windsor pasty, well two actually I’ll have one tomorrow as well.  𝒲𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓈𝑜𝓇 ℱ𝒶𝓇𝓂 𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓅 ℐ𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇𝒾𝑜𝓇  There’s a lot on offer in the farm shop itself, there’s essentially a whole village of shops wrapped up into one. There’s a bakery, butcher, delicatessen and a small off licence too. Be warned yes all the products are really nice but the do have a premium price too ! 𝒲𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓈𝑜𝓇 𝒻𝒶𝓇𝓂 𝓈𝒽𝑜𝓅 𝒾𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇𝒾𝑜𝓇 But if it’s pay day or treat day it’s worth a look and if you’re already out you can visit Runnymede memorials or the air force’s memorial as they are close by.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Lunchtime walk to Windsor

𝒲𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓈𝑜𝓇 𝒞𝒶𝓈𝓉𝓁𝑒 𝒻𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝒫𝑒𝒶𝓈𝒸𝑜𝒹  𝓈𝓉𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓉 After spending the morning watching Kubrick’s Lolita and then writing about it I needed some fresh air, so with the headphones freshly charged I was up and out. There was no evidence of the Slough Grand Prix today so it must have been a quiet night. The only eyesore is the refuse on the streets, the fortnightly collection means bin bags get piled up and the ripped apart by the ever growing numbers of urban foxes looking for the rotting food inside. As I get out of the town I regret my outfit, I’m wearing a base layer, a wooly jumper and a coat the sun is bright and I’m getting hot. I’ve only bought a camera bag with me so I’ll have to suffer it and take the lesson. ℱ𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝑔𝓊𝓎‘𝓈  ℬ𝓊𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓇 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒻𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓈 As I get to Eaton it’s full of activity there are boys running between classes in tails and a few tourists wondering around, I was once asked by a Japanese tourist where Eaton college was I told him tha...
