Watlington walk
Wednesday, October 19th, 2005
On Sunday Évi and I went on our usual Sunday stroll. This time we ensured it would not last anywhere as near as the 7 hour hike we endured the previous Sunday. We choose a three mile walk around Watlington hill which began in the National Trust car park on the hill. The pictures shown are taken on the descent down the hill, as you can see there were wonderful views to be seen. At the halfway point we were quiet hungary so decided to take a slight detour to Watlington itself. A Sunday roast in a local pub was top of our agenda, the only trouble being I had only my debit card as a means of payment. Typically the first pub didn’t take plastic, which was a blessing in disguise as the sawdust on the floor would of ruined the food. The second place we saw turned out to be a house with a pub sign! Luckly the third place ticked all the boxes and we enjoyed a lamb roast, pudding and coffee which was all include in the meal. Of course I had a beer as well. It was such a nice day that we sat outside to enjoy our meal. Here we saw upto nine Red Kites flying overhead.
After we were fully fed we continued our stroll around the Oxfordshire countryside returning to the car some hours later.
Other News Right out of the blue Lonnie Donovan got in touch. He seems to be doing well at RAF Valley reliving his youth. Tires me out just thinking about it!
My sister and family are staying the weekend. Not enough room in our house so we hired the contact house, this is only next door. I hope that my new digi camera will arrive today so I can take it to London when we go on Saturday.
Last week I was on a Perception/Questionmark course in London. This was on the Northern line which, as luck would have it, closed on the Thursday. Grrrrr
