2) London SW: Right across town to visit a much-loved leafy SSSI (well, it would be leafy if only this wasn't January). Muddy tracks lead off into a labyrinth of beechy glades, while dog walkers stride purposefully across the litter-free greenspace inbetween. Here joggers, cyclists and horseriders abound, but there's acres of room for each. The place I'm seeking (BP woz ere) is closed until spring, but the car park is full and the tearooms are thriving. Soup of the day is 'Tomato and brocoli', should you be tempted. Spooked by a runaway poodle, a nearby horse rampages in fear around his muddy paddock. A few sharp words (and a breakneck dash) avert further middle class embarrassment, and Princess slips reluctantly back on her leash. It's not all plain sailing round here. [take a look]
