On Saturday my lovely adventure buddy Penny and I did a beautiful 7 mile walk through various green bits of London, some of which were familiar to us and some not.
We’ve walked a lot together before - mini adventures finding our own way from home to Buckingham Palace, and from Battersea Park to home.
This time we followed someone else route - a section of the Capital Ring - where there was a particular way to go and markers to help us stay on track.
It was so much fun.
Someone else had planned the route, and we got to follow it and make it our own. We stopped for coffee, we detoured into an interesting place, we talked about where we were and what we were seeing and so much more.
It was really nice to have a route to follow, with flexibility along the way.
Sometimes it’s important to find our own way - we want to pick a destination and figure out how to get there ourselves.
Other times it’s really nice to have a route to follow. A framework to set us up and get us on your way. There’s always freedom in it, but it means we don’t have to start from scratch.
And often it’s lovely to partner up for the journey.
Wishing you all a week of finding your way forward in the way that works for you,
