Met up with Ange, after picking up Helens folks. We set off up to the left hand side of the castle up the fill and past the gated community at the top. Great view on you left as you go up the hill, at the top we cam across a couple of Munkjak deer. We then headed over towards the common on the edge of Ashridge estate. It was a bit muddy out and about. We saw the usual birds, lots of Bumble bees, and even a few Butterflies.

An Education (****)

A coming of age drama. after a youth orchestra practice Jenny Miller accepts a lift from a stranger, and a relationship develops. He truns out to be a bit of a gentleman rogue, but you get the impression his intentions are genuine.

There are lots of funny  moments in the film and it is a great story. Many well know British actors.

Walk round Little Hampden

Helen and I went for a walk round little Hampden on Sunday, starting at the car park at Whiteleaf, and I used a new Blackberry App calls GPSLogger to record the walk. It was not too warm to start with and warmed up as the time went on. After 2 hours of walkig we had both had enough, stopped off at Tesco in Princes Risboro on the way back to get a couple of naan bred to do with Daal and Potato and Spinach curry.
Saw lots of birds they seemed to be out eating the buds of trees, particularly the Larches. Saw a ChiffChaff in an Oak tree on the edge of Hamden House.
