And so to Berko

Lots of pubs here along the towpath too!

It was a much better day today, the wind had dropped thank goodness.  I was wondering why I was feeling a bit fed up yesterday, I thought that it was the weather, I don’t like the winter wind much, and it was bitterly cold too.  Not only that, but when I took Lucy for a walk about 4pm, I had only been gone a quarter hour when there was a biting blizzard while I was crossing an open field, I kept going though puffing my way up the hill. 

It was only later that I realised that none of this was making me feel a bit low… for sure it was THAT Monday.  It was all the fault of some part time tutor at Cardiff University who has devised the formula 1/8W+(D-d) 3/8xTQ MxNA which seemingly proves that just everybody felt the same as me yesterday!

Today though I felt great, and locking down through Berkhamstead was quite and very pleasurable.  A totem pole beside the canal was an unusual sight, I must find out why it is there.  A nice town that I have never been to before.  On the way back I will explore, but it’s on to Hemel asap, because when we get there I get my new kitchen fitted out after picking up the worktop at B & Q.

I see I have missed some comments on the blog this week, and I do apologise.  I will go back and answered those. There have been a lot of entries in the Guest Book too, and to you all thanks for all your kind comments.  In the next couple of days I will fetch a few to the blog itself.

I was sorry to miss meeting Richard, owner of Hagley of which I wrote a few days ago.  Apparently Richard was just crossing the bridge on the way to do a bit more ‘restoring Hagley’ while I was locking through Puttenham.
