Another short UK trip. To Windsor, to see Gary, Susana, Gabriel and Salma.
Gabriel is making his first Holy Communion on Saturday, 18th May 2019, so, we will be attending that, as well as doing the usual Grandparent moves of marvelling at how tall they are now, how they have advanced etc etc.
290 miles. We anticipate traffic delays as we approach London, but, it is completely the opposite, tail backs and hold ups around Tees-side, before we have even gone 60 miles, then, plain sailing, helped partly by our alternative route via the M40, which avoids the dreaded M25.
The site is located just off the busy A308, but, we are not able to hear any discernible traffic noise.

After days of excellent weather, while we were at home, today is overcast, cool, with occasional rain showers.
Undeterred we go cycling with Gary, 16 miles, in a circuit from Queens Acre, to Maidenhead, along the River Thames Path to Windsor and back to Queens Acre.

A slightly better day weatherise, a little warmer and brighter.
We attend Gabriel's first Holy Communion, at St Edwards Catholic Church, Windsor. As expected, Gabriel is his usual calm and competent self.
We round off the day with a very pleasant lunch in Windsor

Dry and warm.
Gabriel is having an early birthday party (Paintball Party).
There are what seem like dozens of friends attending, who, when dressed in their protective "combat gear" all look the same, it is not even possible to tell the boys from the girls!
They have the whole day of firing paint ball "bullets" at each other in a mini forest. They periodically emerge, hot and sweaty, but, smiling, to be fed and watered!
