One of the remaining sections of the Roman Wall, near Salters' Hall, one of the stops on the 'Secret Gardens' walk.
The walking season is now in full swing and there was a good turn out last weekend. I travelled into London by coach from Southend with a group from the Custom and Excise Social Club and they were treated to the "INTRODUCTION TO THE CITY" walk.
The following day, Saturday, March 18th, it was "THE FLOW OF HISTORY" and 24 hours after that I had a last-minute call from the Bournemouth U3A who were spending a weekend in the Capital and fancied a short walk through the back-streets of the City.
The Madiera cafe in Dowgate Hill had our custom on Friday and Saturday - and their excellent coffee was just what was needed in the unseasonal Spring chill.
The next walk - SECRET GARDENS OF THE CITY - is planned for Saturday, 1st April and I hope the rise in temperature will see the Spring flowers making a colourful appearance. Usual times for those who want to join us - Leigh-on-Sea Station at 9.45 am or at Fenchurch Street Station at 11 am.
Ring me - David Williams - on 01702 710232 if you would like to come along.
