    I attended a Jessops Academy photo shoot at the Cat Survival Trust this week, and it was an amazing experience. The Trust is not open to the public, but admits members and participants in pre-booked tours only, such as the photographic tours organised by the Jessops Academy. The site has an air of intentional untidiness about it, partly due to ongoing building work. The animals are in relatively small enclosures, and during the day we got right up to the wired fences without any secondary barriers which you find at public zoos. The Jessops guide, Pete, was excellent and gave really helpful tips for professional as well as amateur photographers.
    There was one rather worrying feature. In a presentation, the Trust founder, a homeopathic practitioner, gave some really interesting background to the creative and valuable environmental work of the Cat Survival Trust. But he then appeared to endorse a theory that it is not the fossil fuel and carbon which is the main issue of climate change, but the polar drift! I may have misunderstood him. But then, on top of the pile of nature books he pointed to, there was a book denouncing the Covid-19 vaccine, which made me wonder what the scientific view was. Sadly, my suspicion was confirmed when reading their latest newsletter, claiming that COVID-19 was a scam - it was just the annual flu!
    But from a photo shoot point of view, this was a wonderful and unique experience.

    We enjoyed visiting this house where George Bernard Shaw lived with his wife Charlotte. Learnt so much in the short time we were there. Loved the gardens especially the rotating summerhouse.
    Will definitely return and would recommend others to visit. Would have been perfect had there been a tea shop here.
    Staff were well spoken , polite and very welcoming and knowledgable. So very English , delightful country setting even though he was born in Dublin.

    Mardley Heath is a really lovely place to take a walk. There are a number of different parking spots.

    If you are travelling along the B197 from Knebworth you will go through Woolmer Green and as you climb the hill towards Oaklands there is a turning on your right just before you cross the railway. Travel along this road and there are parking spots at various different locations along the road. If you continue travelling along this road it is a large crescent and will bring you back onto the B197 in Oaklands village.

    There are a number of different tracks to take through the woods and you can be there for a couple of hours and still not cover it.

    I have visited a number of times and still barely scratched the surface. It's a great place to go for a stroll but be mindful if there has been rain, it can get a little slippy!

    Managed by the Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust, this ancient orchard is great for bird-watching, badger-watching from a hide (bookable through their website) and, once a year, for fruit on Apple Day. Join the Wildlife Trust for easy access.

    This was my second course with Dennis and again it was second to none. Great recipes and lots of top tips. You get to try all the techniques. We did the Italian course today and Mediterranean one last year.

    At the end everyone sits together and eats. Such a lovely sociable experience. I will be back. Thank you.

    As with all venues which have two courses one course has an individual preference to the other. The Palmerston would be the Championship course. The food and beverage is average bearing in mind many top courses have raised their standard.

    Fantastic day out on the Worth Valley Spelunker Tour. A lovely breakfast after departing London Kings cross. Excellent service throughout our trip. A lovely afternoon spent on the Worth Valley and Keighly. On our return we enjoyed a well presented dinner in First Class. A very well organised trip.
