Walk This Way

This month bestselling author Adele Parks encourages her family to appreciate the bountiful countryside on their doorstep with a Sunday afternoon walk

- Adele Parks

THERE’S nothing like the suggestion of a Sunday afternoon walk to unite a family – everyone agrees, they don’t want to do it. But they’re wrong, they really do want to do it, and they’ll love it once they’ve started. That’s what I always say.

I understand walks are not as exciting as binge watching Narcos or playing Civ, my teen has even been known to suggest he has to stay in to do homework. I guess afternoon walks, like gardening, sunscreen and punctuality, are something you appreciate more with age.
