Thanks Moses, Micca, Lis & Guest for Camden Lock, tube & map info. Might just try to get along Sunday morning, but not if it's raining badly. My right hand still isn't good at umbrellas & I've never got on with the Beasties anyway!

Lost part of yesterday with Cassie over a misunderstanding about times, but rescued her from Orpington at lunchtime. It took about 40 minutes to get there and we had a 3 1/2 hour drive home 'the pretty way' *grin* Managed to start off with a nice pint of Summer Lightning (Cassie had coke) in the Skimmington Castle at Reigate followed by a meander round Leith Hill, Coldharbour, Newlands Corner (squirty ice-cream pitstop) returning via Ranmore Common & the rear of Denbies. Then did bangers (Cassie's never seen then done without the aid of a BBQ) & mash at the cottage followed by video clips of the funniest bits of Top Gear. All topped off by listening to an Einaudi (clever piano stuff) which just has to be copied for Cassie to try at home.

Today's just started to birighten up after the rain, so it looks like a South Coast day starting off via Box Hill. The fox cubs are just starting to come out for their breakfast of bird food (they LOVE peanuts) so I'd better wake Cassie & see if she fancies a bacon sarnie! Oh the delights of England * grin*

So, we'll only have tomorrow (Saturday) to sort & of course that'll depend on the weather. Probably Windsor Castle & possibly a Thames & Hampton Court trip, we'll have to see. Hope to see some of you at Linda's BBQ on Sunday, am keeping my fingers crossed about the rain & will try to get Cassie to choose one of my cross-stich kits!

Thanks again everyone!
