When Autumn Leaves Start to Fall… …the houses start to reveal themselves. This is one of the advantages of winter walking. The picture below, Mapledurham House, was taken just last week.

The picture below was taken yesterday as we dropped bags off at the Leander Club in Henley. It’s probably the last “summer” photo of the year. The building is Fawley Court, one of […]
It’s been quite an Indian Summer this month and there have been many people taking advantage of this and walking along the Path. The good weather has continued this week but it looks likely that this will soon end and autumn will start. Ordinarily we would close at the end of October and not offer […]
