Chertsey (contd)

Saturday, 3rd February 2018

Raining, but, not quite so cold.

We do the "Grandparent baby sitting" role, to allow Gary and Susana to do last minute shopping for party items, for Salma's second birthday party, planned for tomorrow.

A very enjoyable afternoon, although Salma steadfastly refuses to have her afternoon nap. Gabriel entertains us by practicing his guitar, particularly his rendition of "Happy Birth", which he plans to perform tomorrow at Salma's party.

An excellent meal in the evening, clearly, Gary gets his cooking skills from his mother, not me!

The final excitement is using Uber for a taxi  ride for the first time. A "conventional" taxi company wanted £70 to take us from Windsor to Chertsey (a distance of about 8 miles), an Uber driver did it for £29. Driver polite, car clean, driving safe. What more can you ask, I will use them again.

Dry, but cold.

A quick lunch, then off to Maidenhead to set things up for Salma's Birthday Party.

The party is excellent, all of the children seem to enjoy themselves, just about all of the food is eaten, no-one is ill, or injured in the melee, and the parents have a good old chin wag, a resounding success.

The weather forecast says it may snow, we escape with just a few flakes drifting across the A1, as we drive home, but, it is very, very cold again.

We leave Chertsey C&CC site at 09:00, and have a totally uneventful drive home.

  1. What's your choice of Campervan? I'm building a Volkswagen at the moment to go travelling with the family.
