Thursday 20th April saw the promotional tour set off for an appointment in Wendover near Aylesbury followed by a visit to Marlow where I would likely spend the rest of the day. It was a very warm spring day which continues a spell of about two weeks of near unbroken sunshine. Folks gardens are looking absolutely stunning at this time of year with all the blossoms out and many flowers in full bloom.

The 30 minute journey from Wendover to Marlow ended up taking more like two hours because I got sidetracked by a couple of beautiful villages which were worth a stop. Little Missenden and Beamond End. After a few hours of promotional work in Marlow, dinner was had and accommodation found. After several phone calls to the list of numbers printed on the door of the Marlow Info. centre I found a vacancy at Sue and Paul Simmons B & B which I can highly recommend - a very warm welcome, comfortable and a cracking breakfast -

Friday was another hot day with a continuation of the Marlow visit. I also had time to visit Hurley, a village a couple of miles south of Marlow. After a couple of hours in Hurley, there was time for a swift drink in The Olde Bell before heading back home.
