A lovely December day in the Chilterns

It has been a few months since I last did a country walk, I have been so busy with work that I have not had the chance to get out of London. Finally, on a sunny ( and slightly warmer) winter day, I was able to join a group of friendly walkers to the Chilterns for a 7-mile walk through the woodlands.

Winter walks can be fantastic if the weather is mild enough, so we were lucky to have enjoyed some winter sun, blue sky and moderate temperature. The amazing thing is that it takes less than one hour to get to idyllic settings like this from Central London ( we were back home by 6 pm), a sharp contrast from the Christmas shopping frenzy that is happening in town. Unlike the stressful shoppers, I felt refreshed and content at the end of day. What better way to end the week?
