I have been away..

staying with my sister and her family in Hemel Hempstead for a few days. I had a lovely time - did lots of walking, lots of geocaching (28 finds!). We walked along the Grand Union Canal and I introduced them to geocaching. Sian was quite good at finding them and got a bit annoyed when I was the finder of one really hard cache that we had spent ages looking for! Here they are getting to grips with the GPS.and here is Sian still looking happy before I beat her to the cache!There are some lovely pubs along the canal - I would love to come back here in the summer.And I saw some lovely wildlife - lots of Herons but no kingfishers sadly.We came here to the tree cathedral. Someone planted all these trees in the 1930's in the shape of a cathedral And we walked around Dunstable Downes - which looks a lovely place but the mist was down when I visited but you could still see that it was an impressive place - again I want to come back here in the summer.

We went to the cinema to see Slumdog Millionaire - which was brilliant - one of the best films I have seen in ages - loved it. I had planned to go to a Photoshop Elements workshop at Willow Tree Crafts in Watford, but got the day wrong and it was Sunday not Saturday as I thought - but I still popped into her lovely shop and bought a few goodies - more stamps - I think I am going mad - I keep buying stamps but never ever use them!! Perhaps I should make a concentrated effort and try to use them - I hope you will see some appearing on some layouts very soon.
