We are starting to accept the reality that our actual departure time will be 90 to 120 minutes later than originally planned! Imagine how late we'd be if we had the kids with us!
This morning Beverley was serenaded awake with a slightly off key but heartfelt rendition of Happy Birthday! With Dad and Mums birthdays as well, it's birthday madness on this trip!
We enjoyed a sunny and relatively detour-free trip to London with a stop off in Shepshed for lunch at Kim's cafe. Knowing that our tendency to late departures was likely to impact the chances of us getting a full English breakfast on this trip, we decided to get it while the getting was good and have it at lunchtime. Wanting the full experience, Beverley ordered the large which came with everything: sausage, 2 eggs, mushrooms, tomato, beans and fried bread!! She added black pudding to get the whole experience. It was smashing -- we probably went through a half bottle of HP Sauce between us. The black pudding was not a big hit but everyone tried a bit and Alison even added some to her tea!
We arrived in Ickenham at Bob and Mildred's house right on schedule and found Peter Booth had already arrived from Aylesbury to join us for dinner. We capped off the day with a lovely meal out catching up with Bob, Mildred and Peter.
