Lavender Fields

Brief Description Coulsdon South to Kingston
Date 14-Jan-17
A km 25.50
Actual Distance miles 15.85
People 9






The frosty treacherous roads of suburbia
Quickly dissolved into frozen woodland
Snow covered meadows stretched forward
Below the boots of our fleet-footed group.

Nonsuch Park developed all of its beauty
Under the grey winter clouds and rain
The slippery mud of the Hogsmill river
Led us to the urban crowds of Kingston

Fields of lavender snored almost audibly
Hibernating as they waited for Candlemas
The course devoid of golfers at Banstead
Eerily empty on a cold Saturday morn
Late afternoon, a golden sun beamed out
Under cold blue skies presaging spring.
