Hello I’m Sarah – a writer and walker 👋

I set up The Writer’s Walk to show you how you to use your walks to notice the world, spark ideas and fuel your creativity.

It’s open to all and I’m hoping to create a kind community of creative wanderers.

Fancy joining in?

My latest interview is with Jonnie Fielding who runs Bowl of Chalk walking tours in London.

We chatted about exploring London on foot and his new book, Why is Downing Street Painted Black? (and 364 other fun London facts), which comes out on 25 September.

It’s been three years since I started The Writer’s Walk so I’ve written about why I started it as a bit of a reintroduction.

Who’s going for a wander to see the Sturgeon moon tonight?

Here’s an edition from The Writer’s Walk archive that pairs a moonlit walk and with some reflective writing.

Meet Emily Ash Powell.

We chatted about how she got into copywriting, the hurdles she kicked down along the way, how to make the perfect crisp sandwich, and why everyone is interesting when you’re interested in them.

40 years ago today, Ferris Bueller took a day off

1. This makes me feel really old

2. Life does indeed move pretty fast – so today I’m going to follow Bueller's lead and stop and look around so I don’t miss it

Alt: Matthew Broderick as the movie character Ferris Bueller is laying on a bed with his hands behind his head. At the bottom of the screen are the words 'life moves pretty fast if you don’t stop & look around once in a while you could miss it!'

Such a beautiful day for a morning walk.

The highlight was spotting this welly boot on the fence in front of the Wanstead Park grotto. From a certain angle it looks like the grotto’s about to eat it. Or is that just me?!
The ruins of the Wanstead Park grotto, seen through the bars of a green metal fence. There’s a green child-sized wellington boot stuck upside down on the fence. The grotto has a large archway in it with three smaller arches above which give the impression of a face with a big wide open mouth.

Walk with your head held high. Because as a wise man once said:

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

The jasmine is absolutely hitting the spot right now. I’ve been walking with my nose around London, taking little detours down all the side streets where I know find some.

Jasmine is one of my favoure smells. Full of the potential of summer.

I’m excited to see that my ‘Words in the woods’ walk is the @gojauntly.bsky.social walk of the week. It includes nature prompts and a simple writing prompt you can try while stopping to enjoy the views halfway through the walk.

3 years ago today, I launched The Writer’s Walk: my newsletter on walking and writing.

Thanks to everyone who’s been along for the walk. I have hundreds more ideas on my list, so there’s plenty more to come.

I had another cracking chat with a copywriter recently – none other than the tone of voice master himself, Nick Parker. We chatted about curiosity, movement, learning and experimenting.
