Country life

I have noticed before how countrified it can seem from the platform of Stoneleigh station, despite its being two stations nearer London than Epsom station.

This morning I discovered another country corner in the form of a path running along the back of the houses of Stoneleigh Park Road, next to the railway and coming out by the railway bridge over Ewell By-Pass, aka the A204. Not a path which seemed to be heavily used, although I dare say it has seen some courting couples in its day.

Oddly, unlike the rough path running from the back of Sainsbury's to its rail bridge, at the bottom of West Street, no audible action from small birds.
