Lovely first morning in Stoke Poges. Rob and I went to bed on Friday about 9:30 after a lovely evening with Doreen and David. Doreen made a great chilli and we shared a bottle of Grant Burge Petit bubbles and another GB Miamba Shiraz. Full of good food we sat down to watch a football game between Liverpool and Huddersfield and promptly fell asleep!

We woke around 5am and after chatting for a while, sorting out chargers and gear we showered and dressed and went down for breakfast of tea and egg on toast. No jet lag to speak of, thankfully.

After a very relaxing morning, David and Doreen took us to Windsor.

Driving in England is a unique experience, as the roads are very narrow and there are lots of cars zipping around, so that will take some getting used to.

Windsor is very pretty, we parked behind a friend’s garage and walked down Blexley Street which has a lot of charming terrace houses. We had lunch at the Vansittart pub (sausages and mash for me 😄) and then cut through to Peascod Street where there are lots of shops, checked out the The Queen – a very old train engine that was used to pull the Queens train in days gone by and then we visited Windsor Castle.

Here’s a few pic’s. Look for the Fortescue coat of arms, diagonal white stripe on blue with gold trim.
