Today was the first time I had visited Elstree since taking the first three lessons of my PPL there over a year ago. (I completed my PPL at Fairoaks).

Despite some misgivings it proved a pleasant enough experience. My partner and I had lunch at the new 3 Greens restaurant (premises taken over from the previous sad cafe). An excellent meal (the owners mum is the chef!), although the plates could have been warmed (we're slow eaters).

Afterwards we went for a stroll around the nearby country park. Pity the good people of Watford have to make do for what is a poor substitute for Hampstead Heath. The kids were having fun in the "100 Aker Wood".
