old buggy seem so closley affiliated with that deep down happy spot, that we both know in our lives that it sometimes seems that if it had not been for them it would not be there, but this isn't writing diary. We set off at nine o'clock and wended our way to Normandale stopping on the Turkey Point road to eat our lunch. There were no chestnuts in sight there from the road, so we went back after dinner to a wood above Fisher's Glen that we noticed we could drive into and where we saw some trees.
