Just a short and final note. Our return home was through London. However, we were arriving from Rome at around 2pm so instead of spending what would have been a very expensive night in London we opted for Windsor which is a swift 15 minute taxi from Heathrow and turned out to be perfect. The castle is beyond description even though we only saw it from the outside. We managed to fit in a short boat ride on the river before heading to town for a brew and some dinner. During the day Windsor is very touristy, but all the tour buses leave around 5p and it quiets down to a rather normal English village. So we had another lovely evening engaged in conversation. Met a young man who was a carriage driver for the The Royal Mews and supposedly was Pippa's driver at the royal wedding - great stuff.
