We all had a lovely weekend in the beautiful sunny weather. I principally spent the weekend with cashman, who only popped round to measure up the kitchen!! We took Mylo for a walk on Saturday afternoon and went via the back of Newland Park over the edge of Maple Cross over the M25. What a beautiful walk give or take the rubbish dumped in various places.
On Sunday we took the rest of the family on the walk – it was in hindsight way too far for R & J – and I have subsequently been feeling rather guilty about that. We did stop halfway though for a lovely meal in the Dumb Bell. I cannot believe what good service they gave even though they were flat out – nothing was too much trouble – very highly recommended indeed. The food was very good too.
Spotted a few birds on the walk (including Ostriches behind the Dumb Bell!!) on Saturday before Mylo surprisingly and we talked about maybe walking to a nature reserve in Harefield and also a quick walk to Chorleywood one day. The farmer at the back of Newlands isn’t particularly friendly though, took a slightly wrong turning and he fired up behind us in his Land Rover and gave us some advice. With I’d known about how much crap he’d dumped in the wood (Bottom Wood) and mentioned that to him whilst he was lecturing us about trespassing by a few metres.
