That’s great, Ella. I just enjoyed The Causeway with my sandwich. And at a more sedate pace today.

It looks very good there! Thanks. Hard to believe it’s so close to London. Your countryside is indeed photogenic and atmospheric any time of the year.

Thanks as ever, Ella. I’m glad you enjoyed this article. There’s a lot to see in the English countryside at any time of year, and in May it’s simply serene around here. Even when you’re running at full pelt.

The header image has been updated to match some new writing today, but I’ve added it into the foot of this post so that you can continue to enjoy it. It’s wonderful, I agree — and Horsham’s Causeway is wonderful, too.

This Sussex town is just 36 miles from London Bridge and just 10 from the bustle of Gatwick Airport, yet it still manages to preserve a mediaeval feel. That’s no small achievement in the modern world.

This was a terrific read; as always I ran along (but switched to my bicycle upon mention of that) and even though it was a virtual journey I welcomed the word “downhill.”

I do hope you’re seriously considering that book mentioned a few months ago. We armchair travelers, runners and cyclists would lap it up.

I love the header image, btw. It makes me want to go there and stroll that street with its leafy trees.
