We caught up with our sandwich colleague as we left the Ashridge Estate, and all three of us enjoyed the Berkhamsted leg now in intermittent light drizzle.<br />We enjoyed good travel both ways on our lovely day out: it is always a treat to fit in this bluebell classic during bluebell season.

I was there yesterday. By the way the cafe/restaurant at Berkhampstead called 'I love food' is close for a few months for renovation as I discovered yesterday. Might join your guys tomorrow.<br /><br />MonicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
