Off to the vegetarian restaurant in Tring on Saturday night with Rosie & Ian.  Surprised them with the unexpected attendance of Helen & Nik.  Good vegetarian food.  Lots of choice, which takes some getting used to as a long time veggie.  Ian avoided the goats chesse/mushroom combo.  Can recommend the risotto, polenta & the chocolate sandwich pudding.  Rosie had some lovely cheeses to finish.  Good local beer – Ridgeway Rob Ale from Oxfordshire. Thanks for the life home, Rosie & Ian

Went for the favoured walk around Swan Bottom with John and Angela, starting & finishing at the pub.  No yellowhammers today but saw buzzards and red kites.  A bit squishy in places and Belle ended up with muddy paws. Lots of ragwort in the fields. Lunch in the pub garden, a few too many wasps about but a good pint of Adnams, Cornish Tribute & Chiltern Ale were had (that’s not one of each for all!).
