Dog walking for Mrs B, allowing Molly to take the lead and choose the route. She seemed very happy to do this and took me on a completely new circuit taking in the A316 , St Margaret’s Station and Twickenham Film Studios.

Some litter picking en route yielded a big bag of rubbish including the usual cans, coffee cups and cigarette packets but also a child’s lace-top sock, a single finger-less glove, a broken umbrella and depressingly, quite a haul of air rifle ( or more likely nitrous oxide) cannisters .
