Kensington Park and gardens

Woke at 2.20am. Not such a good idea. Anyway, meant an early morning start. Met Marie and Neville (I think) at breakfast and found out that they are joining everyone on Saturday. Nice couple from Oz. Breakfast over and laundry sorted walked down to Kensington Park. Ambled my way past shops shut til 9.00 or 9.30. Found a lovely church and Kensington Palace. Was able to walk into the gardens and take a closers look at the gardens. Lots of photos taken. Picked up a sim card ND had a Devon scone and Americans at Marks answer Spencers. Sales on everywhere it seems and I have managed to resist so far.

Made it back to hotel in time to go on Windsor to u what an amazing place. The Queen was not in residence but again amazing afternoon. The opulence is mind boggling. The rooms are much smaller than I thought they might be too much cartoon watching.

Tonight another amazing trip. This time ATASTE of London. Went to Inn at Court,a lawyers drinking place in the past, probably still is. Pub dinner of soup and bread followed. Was nice to meet some of my fellow travellers. I guess I will eventually remember names. By the by the meal was huge,so I had a taste of each course. Dessert was amazing, and English lemon type custard. Very good and very rich.

After eating we the travelled along the Thames through London City to the boat . This was amazing as photo show. Pub is Butchers Hook .Read more
