We walked almost daily on the heath across to the Spaniards for fuelling and back up to Highgate, with our lurcher Solly. How could we not have bumped into each other? Thanks for writing. It all helps. Someone just posted your piece on the blogspot for Alan Brien. We walked almost daily on the heath across to the Spaniards for fuelling and back up to Highgate, with our lurcher Solly.
