    A 13-mile circular walk from Guildford Station, to Albury and Chantries Hill (I went the wrong way round, but think the route I went is better). This walk is from the excellent Saturday Walkers Club Website.

    The Marek who went the right way on the path, as well as saving the world, had a burger without bacon (just as Mr Hamburger ordained!) and thus avoided the need to cry about the price of bacon or destroy the universe...presumably because he harboured a growing grudge about the bacon issue.

    When I saw that Alice in Wonderland sculpture all I saw was two girls who'd pissed themselves, and a rabbit playing in their stream. I don't remember that in the book but it's a long time since I last read it. Also those frog signs are legit, and my friend's mum was even a member of her local 'frog watch' group that go out at key times of year to help frogs cross the road so they don't get squashed. I'm not sure how you're supposed to see and avoid frogs on the road if you're driving but I guess it's nice have a heads up!

    As a human to a dog, I can confirm the 'what breed is he?' conversation happens very regularly, during which I have to correct them that 'he' is a 'she' and then explain what breeds she is. To which everyone says 'ooooh, never heard of that'. And then I say she's deaf, and the other person invariably says something about how their dog never listens either, to which I have to explain that my dog is actually deaf! And if anyone is interested, she's a Llewellin Setter crossed with a Border Collie. Her 'designer breed' name would be a Borsetter.
