A break in the weather

Today I visited the Staines office. Its a pleasant 20 minute drive along the Thames. Although coming home in the peak crush was a little different. Still only about 30 minutes. The trick is definitately to leave outside the peak.

We've had rain on and off for the past few days. This afternoon however the sun was out and it was pleasantly warm. Arriving to an empty home I called Merrilyn. She was with James at the Long Walk kicking a ball. I quickly changed and joined them.

When James saw me approaching he came running. Its good to be home.

Taking advantage of the good weather we decided to have a meal at the King & Castle in the ground floor beer garden. It was very relaxing to sit under the tree canopy and enjoy a pint of ale and a meal.

Afterwards we meet one of our colleages back at the Long Walk. He came with his three kids; 2 boys and a girl James' age. We had James' soccer ball so they spent the next hour chasing each other and generally running ragged.

Then it was back home via the Castle and Peascod Street. Life is good!
