Walk, Talk, Write. Ranger Alan, and Juliet from Midlothian Libraries are deeply interested in history and landscapes and will use a sprinkle of both to consider the concept of trust in life’s flow, fate and resilience, and the idea that what is meant to be yours will come to you at the right time.

This walk is about 1 mile and mainly flat.
🥪 Bring a packed lunch and wear suitable shoes. 🥾🥾
