19th June One of us is obsessed with counting steps now our walks are measured by Fitbit. In truth it's been a while since it was as simple as just 'going for a walk'.

Wigginton-Tring Station-Aldbury

12th June Space and time...not enough of either! With both Hannah & David back from university our house suddenly feels too small...and it's hard to believe the first academic year is over...already!
