We set off in Claire and John's car to drive to Berkshire. Five minutes from their place to Rocks Road (which is about 3 km long). 75 minutes later, we got to the other end of Rocks Road, and onto Hammersmith Bridge! London traffic can only be described.
Anyway, we finally arrived at Susie and Andy's, where Michi, Matthew (obscured), Tommy and Joshua (out of picture) were staying.
Morning tea in the Varco's back yard. Happy memories.
We then drove to Woodcote, to Val and Gerry's daughter's place, to see their new baby. I thought Cathy was taking all the photos, and she thought I was , so Gerry and baby Tomi were the only ones we caught.
This is Abby - Kath and Lee's beagle. (
I thought I had to take the dog photos.)
Abby and parts of Gerry. Anyway, we had a great lunch at the Highwayman pub, then walked along the Thames near Goring.
Val and Gerry and Cathy in Goring.
They take the Queen's birds seriously here.
The lock and weir at Goring.
Further up the Thames.
Some of the Thames-side weekenders are amazing.
Still looking for the bloody green sheep.
Back in Putney again, and Sunday lunch at a French restaurant on the High Street. I'm drinking more Kwak although the French waitress had no idea about pouring a beer.
The girls look innocent, but they're drinking Normandy cider .......
..... which comes in little jugs.
John, multi-tasking.
One of the tables in the restaurant - obviously for people who are lost for words.
Cathy's tomate tart.
Assorted foods.
Madelaines.
Claire's pear tiramisu, which was a whole dairy too far.
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines at the Varcos'.
ReplyDeleteDid you go to Nasi, on the other side of Goring? Good Indonesian there.
I'm sure the cider is really tea and the girls are trying to look tough.
Why is Cathy off burnt custard?
I don't know if I can post this cartoon but it's funny.
