Such A Beautiful Village

We as family visited Albury regularly as part of our Sunday afternoon drive from Luton. First off was a stop at Dunstable Downs to watch the circling gliders and maybe have an ice cream, then on-wards for a walk to the top of Ivinghoe Beacon before setting off again for Ashridge Park slowing down to look at the house with a blue tiled roof for a dash up the monument followed by a walk down the hill into Albury to partake in the ritual of being photographed in the wooden "stocks". Not much conversation as I remember as we all followed a well trodden route, no compass necessary, returning home in our "Morris 8" registration number CTM 514 for a cup of tea and crumpets toasted over the open fire spread with butter and Bovril. I still love Bovril spread on buttered toast, but i'm not a fan of "Marmite". As as a tradesman would take cold Bovril toast sandwiches in my lunchbox almost every day. Happy days.
