So, what do you do when you really want to ski but there just isn't any snow? Make some up! And if that doesn't work, then make up a suitable alternative. Which is what they did. If you take a look at the second picture you will see that it looks like they are using old carpet to act as the snowbase. There were enough people here to make me assume this is a prosperous business.
The Material
So, where do you reside if you have an address like 77a Marlowes, as compared to 77 or 79? See what looks to be a really nice garage in the back? Yeah, well, that's an office.
So I continued on my journey around Hemel, aiming for the old part of town, when what should assail my eyes, but yet another church, couldn't resist taking a picture of their poster
It goes without saying at this point
And this is old Hemel. Quaint, isn't it!
And this is the church that goes with old Hemel, built between 1142 and 1180 or something to that effect. Which kind of makes sense since you must remember that just down the road at Berkhamsted is one of the original sites of the 1066 William the Conqueror castles. But, this is not like most of the cathedral shots I have been giving you to date, this is a modest church. Old, but small. Which will show in the photographs, the quire area (choir area) is not nearly as big and does not have ornate reading lamps or anything of that nature. And, more importantly perhaps, no dead bodies inside that I could find, although I didn't go up to the front area where they often exist.
And that rounds out the last month of activities for me: I hit some museums Albert and Victoria Museum Museum of London Did some shopping Harrolds of Knightsbridge Visited with relatives Jane Walked around Hemel Hempstead many times ummm, Got a cold (still lingering as I write) Read some books Ken Follett Documentary on the Crusades Jack Higgins It's been a quiet month, but that's okay, the last 2 were rather hectic, all truth be known.
