Ups and downs at Uplands

A night away in a hotel, and food choices are not always good ones. Breakfast was fine - a bowl of Fruit 'n Fibre (with added sunflower seeds) followed by gorgeous fresh pineapple, watermelon and grapes. Even though the 'fry-up' looked and smelled good (and I was told it tasted pretty good too), I didn't regret my choice. A walk around the grounds, watching (and being watched by) the beautiful red kites which seem to abound in this part of Buckinghamshire finished breakfast off nicely!

Unfortunately, all down hill from here on. The date & banana cake called out to be eaten with coffee - and was very nice too. But lunch of two Marks & Sparks scones wasn't sensible, even without spread, jam, clotted cream or anything else. Never mind - back on track tomorrow.
