A few days after the wedding we bade farewell to Wickford. From there we took the Tube across London and stayed with our friends Iain and Janine and their little girls, Heather (nearly 4) and Rachel (19 mths), in Norbiton near Kingston-on-Thames. We spent the days cycling around and picnicing in nearby Richmond Park, catching up with a few friends and a quick sightseeing trip around Central London.  We also managed to see some of our old workmates, including Radha (formerly from Coopers) and her family where we had a very enjoyable dinner! All too soon it was time to leave London and we drove down to Colden Common again to stay a few days at Denis and Ann's house whilst they were away on holiday to the States. Having only just arrived Peter then caught the train back up to London to go and watch Arsenal play Aston Villa. |

This was at the invitation of a friend of Russ's family, Allan, an ardent Gunners fan. For Peter it was an opportunity too good to miss, returning to Highbury  where he had held a season ticket for a couple of seasons in the glorious early Nineties! The team duly delivered with a 3-1 result, Davor Suker scoring his first 2 goals for the club.  The next few days were spent exploring The New Forest, the South Coast and some of the local pubs. This was a good time to relax before heading to Europe... Next --> |
