Jobsworth's...

Well we got rid of the mattress at the tip...it was never going to be a long term thing but it's a shame as the dogs did love it...

Had a bit of a lazy day today really...took the dogs round Radlett this morning and this evening and in the middle had some Sunday lunch. Quiet but nice...

Yesterday we took the dogs round Aldenham Country Park. We managed to avoid the ridiculous £4 car parking charge by parking in a nearby lane and walking in. As we were cutting through what is supposed to be the perimeter, one of the wardens came racing up in his new van and berated us for breaking down the "hedge". Now, I have three problems with this:

1. There is no real hedge, moreover just a straggly series of bushes and we certainly did not "break through" anything.

2. There is supposed to be a Public Footpath running through the park which it appears the hedge blocks off very nicely. (We have old maps denoting this right of way).

3. The car park charge of £4 is extortionate. I don't mind paying £1 or £2 but £4 is farsical. I guess they are trying to cover the costs of the small farm there. This is something to be applauded but for regular walkers who have no interest in the farm, why should we subsidise it?

Anyway, rant over...

Last night we went out to Marisha, a restaurant in Radlett. We've been before and this time it was as nice as ever...healthy eating not going well...
