After 30 years teaching French, John took early retirement and set up 'Anglo-French Walks' organising walking holidays in the UK, France and Ireland for British and French walkers interested in each other's language and culture.
Now fully retired, having covered some 20,000 miles with AFW, he considers hinself more ambler than rambler or scrambler.
Drawing on his considerable experience, he has written two amusing and imformative books, 'Walking with Harry' and 'Walking with Harry in Chamonix.'
In 2001, he was appointed 'Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques' for 'services à la culture française.'
"Rhymes for Ramblers, Amblers and scramblers"
An illustrated book by John W. Winter about his observations, in humorous verse form, of his fellow walkers.
The names are fictitious but I recognised one about myself. I had not realised that … “I’d chat with fisherman, farmhand, copper or cleric, till tired of waiting, they’d push on, leaving me wond’ring where they’d gone.” ... but it's true.
You might find it amusing to match some of your own club members to the description given.
It is the kind of book you can pick up and read a few pages on the train, bus or at home and chuckle to yourself.
The book was published by Austin Macauley Publishes Ltd.
