Tea With The Queen

Nope, not home...Union Jack displayed


Harrads

They love their "crackers", as in fire crackers? Filled with goodies.

Aunt Jamima Syrup, yum yum.

Scotch egg, Inari,Vegetable tempura,onion Bhaji,shimo

  The Queen's got some nice digs but we didn't get invited for tea.  Two things that struck me, (one) The castle sits right in the village...I thought it would be surrounded by lawns, gardens, etc. It's virtually "right there", on about half its exposure. The other half is acres and acres. (two)Windsor is directly in the flight path of Heathrow take-off.
  We rented bikes and rode the countryside around Windsor and had a picnic lunch on the Thames.
  Stopped at Harrads on the way home. We got "take-away" for tea.(dinner)  We've signed up for a Friday night-time bike tour of London IF the riots don't cancel it. Tonight's tour was canceled. Arrests are now quelling a lot of the riot enthusiasm.  16,000 bobbys on duty instead of the usual 2000.  Remember, they only carry a stick...except for the new armor plated riot vehicle that they drive into the crowd.  Testing it out soon.
  The weather has been perfect!
  Happy Birthday Boody!!
