So interesting to take a stroll where humans are incidental background props and do not dominate the landscape.

Yes indeed Geoff, the few humans were all incidental and unaware!

I sure hope “Slug and Lettuce” doesn’t sell food!

Ha ha Liz, it does actually…’a jokey, nonsense parody of traditional British pub naming’… apparently. There are seventy in the chain. The menus look fine.

It’s a really good chain of pubs, Liz. The food is good too, and the atmosphere usually very inviting. I used to go to one in London regularly.

Beautiful walk indeed – and peaceful and quiet…I went for a 5 mile walk through Central Park today – gorgeous, fall foliage and people rowing boats int he lake…plus thousands running, biking , walking and picnic’ing…everyone upbeat and happy, the way a “Saturday IN The Park” should be…by the way, the band Chicago wrote that song after indeed spending the day in Central Park!

I have always wanted to walk in Central Park, having seen it appear in so many films!

“Slug & Lettuce” does not sound very appetizing, Janet! Ha! Though, it comes close to our lettuce issues in the US! Ha! Good to know also, that aliens still land while we are being lost in the woods! (smile) They most likely feel more welcome in your neck of the woods, than in ours, however! (smile) Thank you always for the smiles and wittiness!

Hello Anita. I just took that photo of the Slug and Lettuce because I liked the white building, but the name seems to have created great interest! There is a recent history to that building, when we moved here it was a lovely Borders Store – basement full of music, floors full of books and a cafe, open till 10 pm. It was so sad when it closed in 2009.
PS I did take an alien home with me, but he did not want to be photographed for my blog.

The Borders Store sounded lovely, Janet! It is a shame that it closed. And so happy to hear that you took an alien home with you, but sorry to hear that he is shy about being photographed! (smile)

Yes it was Anita and it still had headphones to listen to CDs before you bought them.

We used to go to The Slug and Lettuce in Hanover Street when I worked at West End Central Police Station in London. It was a good pub, and the food was good too. I think it’s still there. I can’t see how you get into the one above Tesco in Bournemouth though. I like the Art Deco flats in the first photo.
Best wishes, Pete.

It’s years since we went there, I think we went in an entrance round the corner where the road goes uphill so it’s actually at ground level when you go in.

As you know I would love the woods and avoid the built up areas! Maybe then the aliens would ignore me?

I had just walked under the underpass ( Wessex Way ) but it was surprisingly quiet. When I looked up Horseshoe Common on the map later, it was smaller than I expected and surrounded by roads.
