I'm walking it . . . . .   

I did that for a while last night,and ended up in Aldenham itself.

I've forgotten the Elstree geography,it's been 40 years since I moved away from round there!

Trouble is it is cut into 4, at the cross roads.

Chris Reynolds' website has some details . . . . .

"Saunderson" vs "Sanderson"  and "Stogion" may be "Stogdon" but much later.

We nearly married at St John's Church,but the vicar realised that he didn't recognise either of us and turned us away!

There are lots of referecnes to Bernays to this day in Stanmore,not least the village hall,and a Bernays Close.

"We nearly got married . . . . " - where was the final played? 

One summer in Stanmore, I fell in the pond and got bitten by an adder.
My favourite drink is? Snakebite.
My aftershave smells like? Stagnant pond water
