Dinner with the Bowes was really lovely. David picked us up from our hotel & took a scenic route to Chiswick where they live. Colin Firth is just around the corner! Had a bit of a hangover the next day after David served French champagne & wines from France, Spain & Italy!
Yesterday we got off to a late start, took a bus to Heathrow airport then the tube to London. Had coffee with the lovely Sarah Farace (Willersdorf) who kindly let us leave a bundle of things at reception while we toured for a couple of hours. Then back on the tube to Pimlico. Problem though as some trains had delays etc & you have no idea how crowded it was - and HOT! If I ever come to London again I'm calling the Queen to ask for a carriage or at least an air conditioned Rolls to take me around!
Dinner with the Kettles was fun. They live in St George's Sq at Pimlico, just up the road from the Pimlico Kindergarten where Princess Diana worked & where that famous photo of her in her see through skirt was taken. John & Susan have a six week old baby Andrew & little George is nearly 3.
After a fabulous BBQ we again took the tube back to Heathrow.
