Walks around Dane End

Below are some pictures taken around Dane End, the small village in Hertfordshire where we are now living. It's a tiny village, 1 pub and a shop, and no mobile phone service! These views are taken just over the back of our house where we walk each evening. Most of the fields are crops with only a few cows around.

Walton Lodge Boat Trip

After only a few weeks working for Walton Lodge Vets we were lucky enough to be taken aboard "Walton Lodge" a magnificent motor cruiser. We left from the dock in Kent and cruised into London to dock at St Katherine's, next to Tower Bridge in the centre of London. It was an amazing experience to cruise up the River Thames to London aboard a 5 star hotel!
