Wivenhoe ho!

Arduous morning tasks: fill bird feeders; polish shoes; pack bags.

After lunch, I walk along the tow path to Bedwyn station. The journey unfolds without a hitch - Hungerford, Paddington, Liverpool Street.

Stuart instructs me to wait at Gordon Ramsay’s place outside the station. It gets quite busy, but I hear no swearing coming from the kitchen.

Then to Wivenhoe for chicken dinner, Can, and general hilarity.
