This weekend I decided to go drive around and visit a couple more country towns and villages, I set off from the hotel and drove off under the flight path of Heathrow Airport.
As I was driving I saw a number of cars at the side of the road and went to see what was going on.
Each car had people in and a few had got out and were in the fields alngside with tripods.
These were serious plane spotters. Each had their camera's and were taking photos of planes as they came in to land. I decided to join the spotters for a few minutes and added some 'Plane Spotter Phot
os' to my collection. After my few minutes at the side of the Airport runway I set off again on my way. I turned off the M40 and ended up following signs to Beaconsfield.
Had my hair cut at a small hirdressers called 'Gangsters' friendly and quick and the lady who cut my hair did a great job..
I wandered around the the Farmers Market outside of the Church. A stop off to warm up with a cup of tea and sandwiches and lemon cake, and then a wander around to take photos.........





After strolling around the town and eating, it was time to go walking, so I headed off to find some countryside. Eventually I found a sign post that showed tables and leisure. I turned off the country roads into a narrow lane until I came to a small car park. I could see through the bushes as sun glimmered off water but was still no closer to working out where I actually was. As soon as I exited the car park on foot I spotted a sign pointing to the expanse of water. Passing some converted Barns, and a rail track. I walked across the railway track after the train that had pulled up very slowly. Once it reached the gate where I was to cross, it then sped up and pulled away. Beyond the railway tracks was the River Thames the colour of the water deep blue as the sky was also. The expanse of grassland Meadows running along the river was "Spade Oak" . The winter sun low in the sky reflected on the waves on the river that were driven by the wind.
