London Colney Lakes

London Colney lies just off the M25 London Orbital Motorway, the junction we use when we visit Janie. We get onto the M25 at junction 28 so we only have to travel 6 exits

and if the traffic is good the journey can be done in 50 minutes

If the traffic is bad - well anyone's guess

So Friday, being our last full day at Janie's we decided to explore this area a little

instead of always passing it by

It was late afternoon and quite misty

Jane's cleaning lady was on holiday so we came here after spending the day taking care of the household chores

The mist actually gave an artistic atmosphere

Gosh! We didn't bring any bread!



This lady did

We found a mixture of inter locking lakes and footpaths

The mistiness and reflections seem to merge

As we continue we pass this red carpeted bank We are looking back behind us here

We have now retraced our steps having walked as far as the fishing lakes

and are about to walk underneath the arches of the road bridge

We have come under the bridge and here is a place for refreshment

We don't stop

Further along from the other side of the bridge

the River Colne that will take us to a quite extensive set of lakes This was the wild side of the road

Kingfishers, Herons and an Otter have been seen here

We just saw Water Voles

We did not continue any further as we needed to get home and start dinner so we turned around and made our way back to the car.

One never knows what one is passing when sitting in the car
