I stayed with at my sister's over Easter. She and her husband live in the middle of the Chiltern Hills, where they run a luxurious but inexpensive B&B in a little barn, surrounded by fields, beechwoods and swooping red kites, who nest opposite. It's very peaceful, as it's on top of a hill down a 'no
through road'.We walked to a view out over the escarpment that ends the Chilterns - an Iron age fort called 'Pulpit Hill', to see out over the Vale of Aylesbury (no town, just patchwork fields and sky). Cowslips and violets were growing everywhere in the chalk, and the cherries were just out. It was great to be able to go out on a walk with Susan (and more practice at outings for me!).
