Wednesday 28^th September 2016

Up at 7:30am again today and as usual had breakfast 8:30am.

Weather was clear blue sky no wind and expected maximum of 22°.

Heather & Michael left today to travel to Guilford to visit Sam’s (Nikki’s partner) parents. They will be back in London on Saturday.

After doing some washing we jumped on the tube and went to St Peter’s Church in Eaton where Desmond was the Vicar from 1976 to 2006. Next was a walk to the Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral.

By now it was well after 1:00pm so we had lunch as t café near the Royal Mews before purchasing tickets for the 3:15pm tour of Buckingham Palace State Rooms. The Palace is, as you would expect very grand and there was a display of many of the Queen’s dresses & hats in the Ball Room. Unfortunately no photos were allowed inside the Palace. At the conclusion of our tour we had afternoon tea at the Buckingham Palace tearoom overlooking the lawn.

By now it was 5:45pm so we headed back to our hotel via the Swan Pub for dinner.
