Ye olde oak
Beds
The lake
Thirty odd acres in all, was quite a shock emerging into the noise of London when we left.

Just a day out, venue not of my choosing, I was just along for the ride, cost me nowt.
My partners daughter was the instigator because she wanted to see the Princess Diana statue... which is at Kensington Palace (don't ask).
Anyway we had a good day, topped off by a nice curry when we got home.
