I often have most of my most profound (and not so profound!) thoughts whilst i’m driving or walking or when i’m busy in general and, annoyingly, am unable to record or note them down. Here are a few thoughts that remain ambling and bumping into each other in my vacuous mind which i’m going to spew out before they are lost forever…

 (thoughts thought whilst walking through quiet woodland at sunset)

Imagining the path disappearing behind me as i walk, leaving me no way to get back home

Secret fields of green grass hidden away from the hubbub of normal life 

Spider webs crisscross the path ahead of me, the sun’s rays revealing their presence making them look like single threads of auburn hair.

Also, we never know what a person is like when they’re on their own because there’s no one to observe. Obvious probably, but not to me.

And my dad’s rubbish and letting arguements fizzle out and chill, unlke the women in our family. What shite we have to put up with!

Well, not many thoughts there, the information made a bolt for it as soon as i put in a request, but I managed to capture and hold hostage a couple of prisoners.

Footbridge

I went on a long, rambling walk today through the fields and woods of my home village in Sussex, armed with only an OS map, a compass and a bottle of water to wet my whistle, and I had a brilliantly bracing time. I got lost a few times, keeping my eyes peeled for the next bright yellow footpath marker to show me the way.

It was wet in places andI got chased by a barking greyhound who I met in a field. He had no evident owner and it got a bit hairy but i made it back alive! I also saw a whole family of deer – about 20 of them in all with two stags! Me and my friend often see them when we tresspass in our favourite fantasy wood (nicknamed Narnia!). I must go back to the same place i saw them today with a camera.

The photo above is of one of the dodgy footbridges i crossed. This one wasn’t too dodgy thankfully. I can’t take credit for the image – i found it on the internet when i returned home. I went for a wee in the bushes near this place. Very liberating ;)

There’s nothing much i enjoy more than rambling. It clears the head, refreshes the soul, and provides perspective of the immediate world surrounding us.  It is also free of charge, environmentally friendly and isn’t detrimental to any other beings, physically nor emotionally (except the tens of thousands of insect life i probably crush :(

I find walking especially thereputic when i’m feeling stressed, frustrated or angry (see my other blogs!)
