Implementing a new Blogger template. Phew!
I installed a new Blogger template I found on the Web, having backed up the existing one first. However I didn’t like the new template so I restored the old one. Except it wouldn’t restore because of code errors. Help! Fortunately I managed to work out what the offending code was and to get back to more or less how it was.
Next time I try this, I’ll save the existing template, then restore it immediately to check the code is sound. I suspect the problem was caused by the many customisations I had made to the code in my template. Be warned!

Walk from Dorking on a scorching day
I got hopelessly lost on a 10 mile North Downs walk. I really have to work on my map reading skills!

Books
Kissing the Beehive by Jonathan Carroll is an excellent, well written thriller. An author suffers writer’s block but rediscovers his enthusiasm when he revisits a murder from his childhood. A very readable story.I nearly gave up on The Italian Quarter by Domenica de Rosa but I’m glad I didn’t! It’s an easy and enjoyable slice of Italian family life set against a background of Italian prisoners of war held in detention in England during the Second World War.
Trans Am by Rob Ryan is a terrific read. American pulp fiction from a Liverpool author! I read it over two days. Recommended.
House of Meetings by Martin Amis looked as if it would be another failed attempt at reading a Martin Amis novel (ie London Fields, twice, and Money) but I perserved and was rewarded with a gripping but harrowing tale set in the Soviet Union’s Gulag.

Westhumble walk
We have done this pleasant circular walk from Westhumble near Dorking several times. Half way round there is Polesden Lacey, where there is excellent food, drink and loos.On the walk, in the distance, we came across a group of chanting men in white cloaks. The other two images are experimental, one with the use of extreme colours, the other is a panoramic picture made up of 4 images.
Westhumble railway station used to have a flower shop in the old station building, but there is now a small cycle shop, Pilgrim Cycles, including a small cafe area. I hope it succeeds. They also have a nice website.
