Start of the guided tour

Expensive chairs! They have a children's party here once a year and the first thing they do is remove the chairs and replace them with something less ornate - and expensive.

The guide assured the group that when they have the chandeliers cleaned they do not use "The Trotters"

Village Of The Year


There's a new series of "Village of the Year" on Channel 4 which is made by Reef Television.
It's currently on Monday and Thursday at 3:00 pm and the programme next Thursday (25th) features Rowhedge in Essex, Findon in West Sussex, Coxheath in Kent. AND Redbourn in Hertfordshire - so you might want to take a look and see how we get on...?

Really Annoying

"One" of the things that really annoys me is establishments advertising free WiFi and then keeping the password a secret. It's really frustrating to have to go and ask for the password. Some places have a notice hidden away, some have a blackboard with the code written in tiny lettering but the best places have cards on the table - or on the menu for example - with the code boldly displayed.
Anyone else find this annoying?

Is This The Way To YAWELDIRB?

This is a really bad photo taken looking into the sun so you may have to click on it to enlarge it.
We have just completed a 6.6 mile walk and found the way to YAWELDIRB.
How can this have happened?
It's not come through from the other side of the sign - how can anyone have made the finger post, how can anyone have made the entire sign, how can anyone have installed it? Unbelievable, or is it?

Last summer, Redbourn held its first classic car show on the common



The Ferrari contingent were at the museum

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all my regular blog followers and to all those passers-by who call in from time to time and are very welcome indeed.
 
I've been retired for 9 years today. Don't think I'll be going back...
