 St George's Day Lunch at the Company of Watermen & Lightermen

It is always  a pleasure to visit the Watermens' Hall . A lovely touch was the presentation of a red rose button hole .The lunch was delicious and the company stimulating . Regrettably due to commitments in Cardiff that evening I had to leave before the speeches - but I am sure that they would have been entertaining

Visit to Windsor Castle

Whilst I was having fun in Cardiff , Lis travelled part of the same rail track to go to Windsor for the visit to the Castle.Lis reports that a party of 14 made the visit .'We were so lucky with the weather - no rain . We enjoyed looking around St George's Chapel and the State Apartments . Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared his expertise with us . Afterwards we walked over the River to Eton where we enjoyed lunch at the Christopher Hotel . I should like to thank Janet Reeves for all her help with the arrangements for such a happy day.'
