The pretty side of Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes is a rather maligned place and often the butt of jokes.  However, amongst the gentrified rabbit hutches and square grey buildings and warehouse snatches of beauty can be found.

These are some photos taken around the Peace Pagoda, Buddhist Temple and Gardens at Willen Lake.

By the way the Mr Whippy, soft serve ice cream van, that parks near the childrens playground serves the most delicious 99 cones.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

My lunchtime walk

I'm lucky enough to work in very large grounds.  Now that spring has truly sprung the estate is bursting with life.  I took a quick thirty minute walk this lunchtime and took my phone with me.  Here's what I saw.

An English Summer

We visited the Cotswolds yesterday ...........

I love England in the springtime

It's been almost a month since I last blogged and what month it's been.  I've taken on a new, busier role at work and my Mum has arrived from South Africa.  She's been cooking up a storm and I'll be featuring some of her creations soon.

On this gorgeous summer's day we went to Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire.  Here are some photos showing the English countryside in all it's genteel splendour.
