After spending the last week for a while with my parents, I’ve been mainly photographing and cataloging my dad’s paintings. for a project I’m working on, I’ll hopefully post a link to it n my next blog. We left Huntingdon and headed across to Braintree, for what was to be another fun weekend with Jon and Jo. On the Saturday we took Ozzy for a good walk around Hylands Estate, in Chelmsford, where an impressive and elegant Neo-Classical villa, sits in the middle of a large park. It was a really enjoyable day just walking through the endless fields, chatting, and watching Ozzy gallop around. We ordered in some delicious Turkish food that evening and after a few games of backgammon we turned in. We said our goodbyes late Sunday afternoon and headed down to my brothers, we’ll be staying around the Guildford area until late August, I’ve got some medical things to take care of, which means travelling into Guildford every morning for 6 weeks. I used to do the journey over the Hogs Back into Guildford in a previous life, but it’s way more fun doing it outside of the traffic window, leisurely and in the warm sunny weather, with the wind whistling through your hair. The Hoggs Back is a high ridge, which splits the North Downs, running from Farnham, to Guildford and I’d forgotten that on a clear day, as well as the stunning scenery in both directions, you can see out as far as the tall buildings in Canary Wharf. The weather for July has been beautiful and Rach and I have been up early each morning for a good walk, which has been perfect, with the tranquility broken only by the morning bird song. I’ve popped in to see my good friends Paul, Keith & Andy, as well as seizing the opportunity of playing Christien at tennis at least once a week…I need to up my game though, as the last few outings I’ve been schooled!
