A busy start, cleaning up, tidying, packing the cars, and I had 2 breakfasts to finish the food! Toast and tea; and poached eggs and wilted spinach, couldn't resist either.
Paul, Dave and Crys came straight back to London. Mel, Ali, Amelia and I headed to York. Parked near where we were before, and took a couple of hours to explore. It was great! We started with the Minster, but although we wandered through before Christmas, now it cost 10 quid each! We left and walked along Petergate, then across and down the Shambles, a tiny cobbled street with ancient crooked shops and tearooms on each side. Roamed around, went up onto the city wall and walked along for a while. The kids all loved it. Found a café for lunch, then back to the car and hit the road for Windsor, about 4 hours away.
We played games on the road - started with Friends - humming and naming Phoebe's songs; naming famous guests; extended family members; well known lines.... Then it was taking turns to say a word, and the rest of us had to sing a song with that word in it. Ali's first offering was 'Ferrari'. Thanks for that. All good fun.
We arrived at Windsor at about 5.30pm. Crys had prepared tea, lovely chicken, salad and French bread.
Mel and Dave's home is just wonderful. 2nd floor (top), so they have their own spacious entrance as they're the only apartment on the floor. White inside, very airy and roomy. Lovely large entrance, 2 bedrooms (1 ensuite), huge lounge, separate kitchen. We arrived after dark, can't wait to see the view tomorrow.
After tea Dave and Paul took Crys home, the rest of us set up the airbed then put Anchorman DVD on and lazed around.
It was good to get to bed, another pretty big day!
