A word of warning. The walk descriptions are not detailed enough to guide you - please take a map. The batteries never run out, and you always have a signal. Oh, And don't take left or right as gospel!

31st March 2024 A short exploration of Cooling and its church.

 31st March 2024

So, here it is - Easter and official BST.

The mist is creeping over the marshes today, after yesterday’s beautiful summery weather. Quite a noticeable east wind blowing.



I took a very brief walk along Saxon Shore Way path, then back and with Harry into the village and to look at the church. 



The churchyard in Cooling inspired the beginning of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations. 





The graves in the photograph are of 13 children who died in infancy of the ‘ague’, a form of malaria. 

This is the first time for years I have been near a church at Easter. Weather is brightening up.

Back for coffee in improvised filter, and broached Easter egg and truffles.

Another stroll in the evening to catch the sunset.
