How do I get to Staines Moor?"
Never a question I thought I'd ask myself, but today I did. And lo, Jehovah hath smiled favourably on his servant, and hath guided his hand to multimap.com and movethst his hand right speedily to find a public footpath that lead him literally right to it.
Braving force nine gusts and skipping deftly over the muddy patches and semi-decayed dog turds that seem to be an ever-present feature of the urban-rural borderlands, I took a stroll out there this lunchtime to see what it was like. And what do you know? Genuine ancient moorland (unploughed for over 1000 years, apparently), just off the Heathrow flightpath and right next to the M25. What a find!
Amazing to be out walking amongst cows, skylarks, kestrels, and all manner of tits, warblers, and other feathery fluttery things only ten minutes from the office, and being able to stop off for the necessaries in Waitrose and riffle through the unfashionable and deformed seconds in TK Maxx on the way back! How can life possibly get any better?
