Being a bee whisperer I am always on search of beautiful bumble bees... This plant was abundant, and buzzing'ly full of glorious bumble bees...
No shortage of the amazing creatures here, thankfully! Oh and here is, was, the castle grounds in Berkhamsted!
I arrived as you know Thursday, into sunshine, a little at least, Friday was a pretty damp day, but I relaxed and got to know a new member of the family, Ruffles! And we went to see a show Friday evening in the St Albans Area, a comedian Mark Watson, he was excellent, we were third row from the front, and two of us were slightly stressed at being picked on! It didn't happen and was a great evening out.. Had Nandos first!
Saturday the weather started a bit iffy but picked up and we went out to shopping area outside of town, beautiful sunshine by then. And family came to visit in the afternoon, a really good day...
Hadn't been around the Castle grounds since mom was in hospital, so over nine years ago; it hasn't changed, lol, not for a couple of centuries now maybe!!
Yesterday the weather was also good, we took a trip down memory lane, visited Northchurch and Berkhamsted. Our primary school, St Mary's, the houses we've lived in... Walked along the Grand Union tow path nearly as far as Dudswell, cut through the fields, marked footpath...
And back through to the main road near the cricket field and rec.
There is a rather large fish in the 'can you spot it' photograph above! Lol
My old primary school looks a bit sad out front!!! When did the tree go? Looks like the roots are still uplifting the playground?
