Rosemarie's Birthday 2020

Rosemarie's Birthday 15th March, 2020

Went for a nice meal at Lussmanns in Tring, just the two of us. Delicious food, though a bit rich to our now usually modest tastes. Rosemarie had Linguini with Rabbit (may contain shot!) followed by Tuscan (allegedly) Chicken with Winter Vegetables. Nick had Aubergine Broschetta followed by Ox Cheeks (beautifully tender) with Spinach and Creamed Nutmeg Sauce. Everything absolutely delicious and the house red was just right and good value for money. Tables for two, well spaced out (more than 6 feet apart!), warm and friendly, staff aware and careful to the epidemic situation. It was altogether a very nice evening.

Welsh Group St Davids Day Dinner

Chiltern Welsh Group Celebrates St David's Day.

Clwb Cymraeg Ardal Chiltern is a self-organised Welsh language reading and conversational class that has been meeting in Leighton Buzzard on term-time Tuesday evenings for 30 years - first at the Riverside Centre and lately in the Leighton Buzzard Theatre and Library Building. The group is a mix of Welsh-speaking English members and first language Welsh speakers. The meetings are a mix of conversation, grammar and discussions about Welsh media articles, both printed and radio. The group also reads modern Welsh literature and is currently reading "Y Bwythyn" by Caryl Lewis. If you are reasonably proficient in Welsh conversation you would be welcome to join us. You could contact Nick Hollinghurst on nickholl1945@btinternet.com For details of the book that was metioned visit the publisher's website www.ylolfa.com The picture shows the club's St David's Day Dinner on March 6th at Tilsworth Golf Club near Dunstable.

Battery Power is being used More and More in Vehicles of all Sorts - It's Definitely Here to Stay!

Despite the scaremongering and misunderstanding that's around, the situation is clear. Vehicles of all sorts will be powered less and less by the internal combustion engine as time goes on. Diesel engines will probably remain the power source of choice for the larger lorries, but any smaller vehicle could use electric power from batteries - and anything larger with more space to spread the weight, such as a train or a boat, could do the same thing using cheaper and simpler batteries.
