Windsor, right on Kew

We awoke to blue sky and sunshine... but still only 2 degrees! We caught the train to Windsor, but no castle visit as it was closed today. The Bavarian themed Christmas market was still operating, so we partook in some mulled wine before continuing our walk around town. Without the tour buses, the streets were pleasant to walk, so we had a leisurely lunch in a cafe before catching the train back to Twickenham.

A quick turnaround at our apartment, and we caught the bus to Richmond, then walked to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, for their Christmas at Kew light display. This was the first of the wedding events organised by Erin, so we had the opportunity to meet many of the other wedding guests. The gardens were very popular, with hundreds of families walking the 2 hour circuit, complete with food stalls, amusement rides and Santa still in residence!Read more
