Back home in Guildford

We leave home at 2am in order to onboard our 5am flight. The next 24 hours are a blur of copious food,
movies and drink including Jura Superstition which hits the spot at 30,000 feet.
Surprisingly we whip through UK customs in about 3 minutes(sic) and then are driven to our digs in Guildford. It is now 8pm and so we make our way down to Waitrose supermarket to stock up on the bare essentials-kippers, French cheeses and pates.
The next day we are reunited with daughter Claire and Suzannah.
Breakfast is kippers which lends a certain fragrance to the establishment and then it is off to our favourite venues in Guildford

followed by a cleansing ale

and 5 Guys.


Dinner is traditional British curry.
Yum

Return to Blighty

Image
We were picked up from our hotel at the ungodly hour of 5am(0500 in the morning!)and after numerous internal cavity searches were allowed on to our flight back to London. Our driver took us on a circuitous route to our airbnb which turned out to be mostly non-functioning-broken stove and washing machine. The next few days was a blur of shopping for cheeses and attending a performance of Hamilton( 3rd time for me). We then drove down to the New Forest to stay with our friend Charlie and drink more fine ales. Then it was back to Guildford and on to Melbourne.

A quiet day of contemplation, carbonara and beauty

We walk to Waitrose to pick up a few delicacies for our lunch but they do not open until late in the day so we take a perambulation along the banks of the River Wey and observe all the little poms having a nice time. Eric, Claire and Suzannah join us for a carbonara(7/10-for some reason we discover lentils inside the pepper grinder, is this some demented English thing?) and then we wander off for further delights of the English countryside.
