We caught a fast train to Slough at Paddington, changed trains for a short ride through the fields to Windsor and Eton Central. We made our way to the Castle where we spent the morning. There was a nice surprise exhibit of QEII's gowns from the time she was young up to the present. We had an al-fresco lunch at the station before training back to London. We spent late afternoon at Kensington High Street and wandered down Exhibition Road to the visitors center where we delivered an envelope for Sharon Miller. This evening we walked down to Westbourne Grove to Gourmet Burger Kitchen for supper, and stopped at Marks and Spencers for some yummy dessert to eat back at the flat.

Our plans for tomorrow are dependent on the trains and recent industrial action. Come what may, there will be something, but this is all for now.

Certainly Carluccio's offered something in a tasty Italian panino or gelato!
Delightful.
Oh man! I am so homesick!
