Dear Alison and David,
Thank you for a wonderful walk through frozen Wiltshire! Here are a few pictures to recall it. Reaching the summit of Win Green as the sun dropped away and our shadows lengthened was pure magic! The inn provided a cheering warmth and great meals. We feel strengthened for whatever the New Year will bring.
Peter and Georgina
