This Sunday morning, as many of us lace up walking boots or pull on wellies, as we untangle the lead and clip it on to the dog, even as we step outside, pull up our collars a little and eye the clouds, we’ll be taking a moment to think about Julia James. And then at 10am, along with hundreds of fellow dog-walkers around the world, we’ll be marking Julia’s passing with a minute’s silence, before heading off for the morning’s exercise.
