Day 5

Sunday May 29

A cold and dreary day. Service was at 10 am and this time at All Saints. Windsor has 4 churches in short distance to each other who take turns hosting the activities with the same priest. 

James and I had never been in this church and it was very good for us. After the service I took some photos. Of course there was also coffee time in the parish hall. 

On the way home we saw people decorating their street. Lots of people all over England are having street parties in their neighborhoods for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The mood in the country is amazing. When we passed the people we all laughed because the bunting was just a little too short. They tried to figure out from where to where to tie it. 

Jane's house. We always enjoy strolling through her garden.

Jane had just come back from a trip herself so we didn't want her to cook. It seems also to be a tradition by now to go to Bexley Arms for Sunday lunch. We also had invited a long time family friend who is now a widower. 

The others all had beef roast with Yorkshire pudding. I had lamb roast. Don't really care for the Yorkshire pudding. The veggies and roast potatoes are family style. And Jane always asks for extra gravy. It was very nice.

Ha-ha, when (ordering) I asked what the soup of the day was, Jane announced that she was having dessert. Yes, better choice. Three Knickerbocker Glory and one Treacle sponge.

We spent a little more time in the garden but it was a cold day.

Nevertheless we needed some walking. James and I went up the town. Couldn't resist these flowers.

And look at the efforts of this baker.

All the way to Eton Bridge and than back along the river. 

Got our steps for the day which felt good. We watched a program narrated by the queen about private photos and movies. James and Jane were remembering going to London for the coronation. 

We also had to spend time sorting our luggage because tomorrow we leave with only 1 suitcase (Ryan Air rules). Stay tuned.
