We didn't have footpaths, but we just wandered around cross-country. I live in farm country now so it's very different. It's not acceptable to go marching across some farmer's cornfield. I have to say, I am very jealous of all the walking paths in England, but I'm glad you take advantage of them and we can, at least, visit them through your photos. Got my walking shoes on and waiting for the next installment.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816796977553847916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-91688121188087759542012-09-22T14:41:14.259+01:002012-09-22T14:41:14.259+01:00We, too, wandered as children in much the same way...We, too, wandered as children in much the same way and I suspect the owners really did know when we cut across their gardens. I think most were simply too kind to say anything to us. But I do envy the British their system of footpaths and I look forward to the rest of the story.

Of course, there are the national and state parks, but that usually means a trip first.<br />I have some family owned land that I can wander through, but anything else is highways and roads--dodging traffic and inhaling car fumes.<br /><br />Our childhoods were filled with so much more freedom and fantasy.it's mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701940616523413217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-71234584665513544512012-09-22T11:09:57.407+01:002012-09-22T11:09:57.407+01:00Fascinating, John.
