"Last Sunday was a perfect sunny summer afternoon in the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) just 30 miles north west of London. (http://daithaic.blogspot.com/2009... ... ) AONB is one step down from a National Park designation and provides tight control on development and farming. This was an aspect we certainly appreciated as we headed down the lovely Missbourne Valley towards Prestwood, a hamlet in the hills about a mile from Great Missenden (http://daithaic.blogspot.com/2008... ... )on the road towards High Wycombe. First order of business was to work up an appetite by visiting the Steam Fair at Prestwood followed by a superb barbie prepared by a Suid Afrikan Braiemeister washed down with oodles of Pimms No. 1. Dankie as they say in Cape Dutch!"
