No matter where I end up, getting outdoors helps. Some days it is so hard to open that front door, but the walking apps weirdly help me get going, A kind of walking buddy, I guess. Audiobooks also assist. I am borrowing them from my local library via an app on my phone, and they stop me thinking too much on the walks. Thoughts easily spiral as I am still in the early days of grieving. An unexpected side effect of listening to the audiobooks is that sometimes I don’t think about where I am walking and my feet simply take me places.

West Hill Cemetery, Winchester

This cemetery was an unexpected third of the way point, and resulted in a 6 mile walk around Winchester as I then took a weird way home to avoid retracing my footsteps and too many people. The cemetery is now closed for burials, and is a favourite walking route for university students. It is also a site of natural and historic interest, find out more here.

Alternatively why not explore the comments below, chat to a fellow squarer and maybe find another square or two. They were so many lovely WalkingSquares yesterday, thank you to everyone who joined me on a walk or left a comment. Can’t wait to see what you share today.

  1. I’m pretty sure that audiobooks saved my life at least twice by enabling me to escape my OWN brain and move into another world. When you can’t escape for real, a book wrapped around your brain is almost as good. I apparently missed yesterday’s squares, probably because I had move than 350 emails backed up and I couldn’t find anything. I’ll have to see if I can figure out what I’m missing though I’m inclined to drift off to bed. But I’ll look for squares first.

  4. I think I’ve been there, lo these many years ago, but a good place to walk through. I hope to get some squares organized in a few days!
