On Saturday we had a house viewing in Chesham. Originally we had wanted to see a different house but the estate agent persuaded Helen to add this one as it was on the same street we use to live when we were in Chesham. This had all been set up for Thursday but was trumped when I got the skin specialist appointment. Come Saturday, the house we wanted to see was vacant without a spare set of keys but the add on was viewable. So off we went to see a house that was certain to be too large and almost certain to be at the limit of our price range.
We decided to walk the mile or so into town. We viewed the property and, as nice as it was, it was way too big.
We took the long way back around the park lake before separating when Helen wanted to go shopping. I welcomed the break as I was getting tired and needed to go at my own pace for a bit.
On Sunday Helen’s sister Betty and her partner Paul invited us out for a walk and a pub lunch in the Tring area. As this is an area on our list and yet to visit we agreed. The walk was around an old chalk quarry since allowed to fill and become a bird sanctuary. It is now called College Lake. We walked around the artificial lake although I needed a couple of rests in some of the many birds hides dotted around the lake. When we’d finished we headed of for lunch at the imaginatively named Red Lion pub nearby. I had a pint with my lunch and as expected it finished me off for the afternoon.
Back I had a snooze before watching the Monaco Grand Prix which, probably for contractual reasons, was shown on the BBC several hours after the race actually started. Pat on the back for Nico Rosberg who won the race in the town he grew up in and his father won 30 years earlier.
