Another luchtime walk, it helps clear the mind. Took a walk down the new bridleway, it is very ugly and not half as good as walking donw the stretch towards Aylebury.
I’d rather be out walking

Spring is here
Weather here in Buckinghamshire as taken a turn for the better, sun is shining and the temperatures are up. Found some flowers at lunchtime, when I wnt for a quick walk, I haven’t a clue what they are. Answers on a postcard please. They are not Dandelions or Celendines.
Clitheroe
I had never been to Clitheroe until today. Had to go there for a meeting today. Went to my brothers on Sinday and sent time with my niece and nephew, so that the journey would not be so long today. The town is at the foot of a lot of lovely looking hills, and the scenery and grand.
Luton airport tip
If you are travelling from Luton on EasyJet then here is a tip for you. After security pass straight through the crowded main shopping area and head down towards gate 1-9. At the end of the corridors there is a quiet area with a coffee bar, and no people. Most EasyJet flights go from that end so when the flight is called you can quickly get to the required gate and be at the front of the queue.
A while back I realised I was not the only person, a few weeks on the trot I noticed a captain sat there staring at the departure times then when the gate was displayed he would jump up and walk in a hurry to the gate, he always beat me. One week I positioned my self near the exit and raced him to the gate it was a close thing. Turns out he flew for Whizz air and was from eastern Europe.
More snow
My window at work, it’s a crap picture but I decide what goes up and what does not. Only a handful of people made it to work today. Off to Eastbridge later hopefully if the conditions allow. A41 is apparently shut between Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead, so fingers crossed.
Yet more snow
Woke up to more snow today. Walked to work via Buckland. Not many people at work and they shut the place down at one. Walked home then got on with some work. The picture is The Oak pub in Aston Clinton taken on the way to work.
EasyJet late then on time
Arrived at Belfast International and all looked good, then an announcement suggested a 45 minute delay. Next thing you know we are called to gate 14. Not sure if Google latitude works in the UK although I got it working I think its is because my Blackberry is attached to a server in Dublin, then when I surf the internet that is too. Did not see any of the 000’s of Waxwings being reported.
Luton again
Snow has not stopped me getting to Luton. Road over Whipsnade pretty dodgy car seemed to be close to not gripping the road going up the hill. Snow not affecting flights.
Snow again
The worst since 1991 according to the BBC. A41 is partially covered and we are expecting more later on. I decided to walk to work it took about 45 minutes I went the back way down through Buckland. Might try it again it again, a nice way to start the day. Saw three Bullfinches.
Bridleway resurface
They have decided to resurface the bridleway that runs along the perimeter fence at work. I am not sure why as you see about 1 person a week using it. Still in a credit crunch public projects keep us all in work.
