Station is in the new town, so I walked down to old town, which did not look any different and had a poke around. St Mary's church is there and it has featured in Midsommer Murders, in fact the town has a few times.
St Mary's Church
Had a pint at the Royal Saracens Head, which like a lot of the town is pretty ostentatious. The houses I had walked past were amazing and I can believe it is the most expensive residential area in UK!
I then caught a cab up closer to Howie and Nessies place, and parked myself at the The Royal Standard, which was much more like a real pub, and whilst waiting for Ness to get back met up with the locals, who are a good lot and like their Rugby.

Ness picked me up from their and it is only a skip from their place on Berghers Hill. With the 3 kids in tow we hung at their place with a most beautiful back yard.

Fiona and Howie arrived around 8.00 and we had a great meal, before sitting around far too late listening to a bunch of old Australian music, with some singing thrown in! It is a good thing they do not have neighbours too close!
Fiona left for work at 7.30! Do not know how, and I rose around 10.00! Had some coffee and then got the train back to Greenwich, where a quiet time is planned. Will see how that goes......
