War of the Worlds at last
On Saturday Évi and I finally managed to see ‘War of the Worlds’. This time I planned ahead and booked our seats online. I managed to get a couple on the back row, towards the centre for the optimal viewing experience. However on arrival at our seats we found two teenage girls sitting there, and this at a time when on one else was on the back row at all. “Are we sitting in your seats” they asked, “err Yes you are!” I replied. They then skulked off to their allocated seats. Cheeky mares! The film itself wasn’t too bad, although I was expecting better.
Sunday is our usual walking day, and this was no exception. I found a walk which passed Boveney lock in our book ‘Walking in Buckinghamshire’. This was a must after we passed through the lock on a boat trip on my birthday and both of us remarked how we would like to walk around this area. The walk took us around 2 1/2 hours, although we took a minor detour en-route due to the vagueness of the walk description in the book. Usually I have an Ordinance survey map of the area as a counter to this problem, but we haven’t got one for this area. Still we weren’t too put out, and the walk down the old tow path on the Thames was worth it.
