Norfolk to Hampshire

We had a good journey from Norfolk and as we couldn't meet up with Simon until this evening we decided to leave the motorway, crossed the river at Staines ...

and headed for Runnymede as a good place to spend the afternoon. We parked by the river in our usual spot, had a cuppa and a snooze and watched the boats pass by ...

Lovely and relaxing after a long drive. When our parking time was up we made tracks to find Simon's new flat in Farnborough but unfortunately we caught the evening rush-hour and so got stuck in traffic several times. Eventually we made it and the little map he'd drawn for us was perfect. We pulled into his car park just as he was about to go to football training for the boys so we had a quick guided tour of the flat and then he left us for a couple of hours. When he got back we ordered pizzas, had red wine (homebrew of course!) and a good old natter - great! Dogs are not allowed in his flat so we moved out to the RV for the night as we didn't want to get him thrown out for breaking the rules!
