SOLD OUT puffins of Farne Island and the Scottish Coast Weekend
Join me on a gorgeous weekend trip to the world
famous Farne Island for a magical trip with the seaclowns, the colourfull and the clumpsy PUFFINS!But first, let's join our northern brother, the gorgeous, the valourous and the sometimes difficult to understand, Scottish! in what has been called ' The most beautiful country on Earth' by so many...
ATTENTION: I only have 5 spaces that will be on a first booked, first serve basis.
We will start our trip with a train journey of 3.5 hours to the Coast of Northumberland where we will have a 15 minutes bus journey accross the Scottish border for some views to remember!
You know of the highlands, you know of the Isle of Mull of Sky but believe me, the Southern Eastern Coast of Scotland is a must see!
Day 1:
After we have arrived to our destination, we will begin with a gorgeous, a stunning, and incredible hike along the Coast North of Berwyckshire all the way to St Abb's head, I just won't say too much, it is just pretty in the way that I like it to be pretty, you know I have taste. The hike will be about 15km long and medium with quite a few inclines so have some good hiking boots!
After that we will go spend the night at a local hotel where we can either have a nice meal together or where you can have some take away.
Day2:
Day two will be as interesting, wether you like birds or not, the puffins are an all time favourites when it comes to cute sea creatures, they are playful, colourful and very, very clumpsy, we will take a boat and we will spend a couple of hours with them circling around the island observing them amongst tens of thousands of other sea creatures such as seals and dolphins if we get lucky and guillemots or razorrbills that are the last remaining penguin species in Europe...
After the trip, we will have a short hike in the coastal dune along one of the most impressive castles in the UK, Bamburgh castle before we head back to Londinium for a good night sleep, our minds filled with dreamy images of a lovely trip! We should be back around 9pm.

Breathtaking Bloomsbury ... tour with Blue Badge guide Laurence
Photo above by emma.buckley (Creative Commons)
Join me for a walking tour of one of London's most eclectic areas. One of my favourite areas for walking around, it's got a truly peaceful aura to it and is crammed full of history and interesting characters.
Meet Goodge Street Underground Station @ 11am - 11.10
Fee £15
It may be American Independence Day but we're keeping it British this year!
This is a beautiful area, full of stories of household names - underrated and not to be missed!
Known not only for its literary connections, Bloomsbury also has links to the aristocracy, medicine and politics. Throw in glorious architecture and gorgeous garden squares and it makes for a feast for the senses. Where else would you find the Bloomsbury Group, Pre - Raphaelites, the inventor of Pfizer, Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath , Mad George 3rd, not so mad George Orwell and TS Eliot and the story of the chocolate sauce and you have a mixed array of stories ...... And, oh yes, there's also the missing queen and a star of the Carry On films - arguably the most popular star of that series......................
We finish by Russell Square, close to a great pub and lots of cafes, where I, for one , will be partaking. Feel free to join me!
It is imperative that you let me know if you cant come as I will wait till 11.15 for anyone whose name is on the list and if they do not turn up it isn't fair on the group for them to hang around if those attending are all there and ready to go.
Please note that at traffic lights i will always wait for the green man signal- if there is one -and that at other crossings and on the streets generally attendees need to be vigilant.
Guided walk £15 - payable on the day

We partner with a trusted local dive operator with extensive experience running ocean expeditions along the Wild Coast. Their skilled skippers, dive crews, and wildlife spotters bring a deep understanding of the area’s conditions and marine life, ensuring safety, precision, and ethical wildlife encounters.

FREE SUNDAY HIKE - Viaduct, River, Castle & Lavender: A Darent Valley Loop
Looking for a Sunday that feels like a soft slice of summer? Join us for a beautiful 12–15 km loop through the Darent Valley, where riverside paths, rolling green fields, and blooming lavender come together in one of Kent's most charming landscapes.
This valley has been shaped by centuries of life and travel, and you feel it as soon as you step onto the trail. We'll pass beneath the towering arches of the Eynsford Viaduct, a Victorian engineering landmark that has carried trains across the valley since the 1860s. Further along, the route brushes past the historic grounds of Lullingstone Castle, a Tudor manor once visited by Henry VIII and home to the Hart Dyke family for over 500 years.
From there, the path opens into the quiet lanes of Shoreham village and the purple shimmer of the lavender fields drifting across the hillsides.
As we move through meadows, woodlands, and open countryside, the day settles into that easy summer rhythm where everything feels unhurried and lightly golden.
It's the kind of walk where the scenery does the talking: the river winding beside us, the scent of lavender in the warm air, and the countryside unfolding in soft greens and purples — a Sunday that feels sun-warmed, peaceful, and just a little bit dreamy.
We will head to a pub near the station when we finish for a pint or/and lunch.

NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
