    Aah, a balm to my soul in these uncertain times! Having just heard our president declare a national disaster, I needed some relief, and found it in your lovely walk. We will have to design new models of social gatherings for a while. Being together, apart, will become a way of life at least for a couple of months, it seems. Accompanying you on your walks, together with other viewers, is a perfect example. Thank you, John.

    Oh John you missed the turning for the Fox, it's a great pub. I use to live in Hanwell and this walk made me feel quite emotional 😉. That Polish deli is great, also there is an award winning chip shop round the corner on boston manor road called the golden chip which is defo worth a visit. Also there is a great small Zoo near to where you were walking by the Wharncliffe Viaduct known locally as the bunny park 😉 the Marshall amp was invented there and there is a plack 2 mins walk from that Polish shop. Not sure if Hanwell Hootie is still a thing but worth a visit, good mini music festival. Keep up the great posts!

    Isambard Kingdom Brunel is interred in a family plot at Kensal Rise Cemetery the oldest of the London garden cemeteries (opened in 1833). The cemetery is one of the 'Magnificent Seven of the major London cemeteries and holds 250, 000 internments, including many notable people of the Victorian age - Henry Mayhew, Charles Blondin, Charles Babbage and John Claudius Loudon. Loudon designed our first public park The Derby Arboretum (opened 1843), published 'The Encyclopaedia of Gardening' (1832), wrote extensively on all manner of landscape and horticultural subjects including 'On the Laying Out, Planting and Managing of Cemeteries and the Improvement of Churchyards'. In 1807 Loudon lived at Wood Hall Farm, Pinner which he rebuilt to his own designs from 1808.
