I was on a wee trip to Buckinghamshire and London from Monday to Thursday this week and had a very jolly time. I arrived in Heathrow on Monday afternoon and jumped on a bus to Windsor. It was very, very hot; much hotter than Scotland has been this past couple of weeks. While our Scottish heatwave has gradually tailed off, it has just kept right on going in the south of England. As a result I did not go for my planned walk around the town; instead I found a pretty riverside pub where I sipped cool drinks and watched the world go by until Jennifer picked me up on her way home from work.
Later Jennifer treated Ben and me to a delicious dinner (Russ and Josh are on holiday in Edinburgh this week). We went to a pub in Thame which is operated by famous chef Raymond Blanc (or Ray White as Jennifer calls him!) it was rather nice to have time with Ben without lots of other people around and we had a good chat. The food was absolutely gorgeous and we had our coffee sitting outside in the wee courtyard. Jennifer gave me not one but TWO fans to keep me cool while I slept - for which I was very grateful.
On Tuesday Jennifer took me to our favourite spa, Nirvana. What can I say? I just love it there and the hot weather was a bonus; we spent most of our time at the outside pool, swimming, reading and chatting. It was a truly lovely day.
