Thanks for a good story. Abraham Lincoln called that the better angels of your nature.You have the right to ramble freely in England as long as there are no signs saying private property. The ramblers do not like it when people walk across their gardens
I lived in the UK for a year and did a lot of rambling. I like the way that they had little steps over the fences. Delightful indeed.

I remember the Thames walks, and the rambles through the ancient Berkshire woods.
One of my walks was along the Grand Union Canal from Boxmoor where we were living. Helping with the locks was always appreciated. One of my "drop in" spots ...very occasionally.

Oh yes, the locks. Had forgotten about them. Always something to watch.
I took a boat to Windsor once, going through several locks en route.
I like Windsor. I went with my beloved one day and it was a really lovely place. We were walking along the street and noticed a handbag on public seat. No one was around so I thought "paydirt"....but the missus made me hand it in to one of the guards at Windsor Castle. There was a fair bit of money in it so I hope it made it to its rightful owner...sorta.
