Redbourn Common is an extensive parcel of land with walking tracks surrounding the whole area. Part of this Common is the Redbourn Cricket Club with grounds fit to play test cricket except for the public road passing though one of the wings. Part of the boundary line was actually painted on the road.
We were interested to listen to local county radio. The EU referendum is the hottest topic in town. Referred to as "Brexit". The passion it seems to be generating indicates what an important decision it is for the Brits, and how divisive the issue has become. The polls reported seems to be favouring the Remain argument - 55% to 42%. But there is only one poll that counts!!
Later we drove towards Luton to visit the Stockwood Discovery Centre. The centre displays collections of: Local Social History, Archaeology, Geology and Rural Crafts. It also houses the biggest horse-drawn carriages collection in Europe.
The external part of the Discovery Centre features extensive gardens. The Period Gardens, ranging from the Elizabethan Knot Garden to the Dig for Victory Garden. Other features included the Sensory Garden, World Garden and Medicinal Garden. A great place to visit.
