Made it London in one piece despite having two hours to relax and chill out in the lounge at Edinburgh airport - Sparky would be proud of us !!! But flight was good, on time and as we approached ran through a big rain cloud. By the time we got to Eagham we needed tea rather than anything stronger.
Just as well I was not at home as I was expected to join in the fun and games at the SESLTA gentleman's dinner at the Original Hotel Roslin - where I believe the boys did have a good evening.
Up bright and early this morning to catch the train (slow one) up to Waterloo Station and being a nice day took myself for a slow stroll to my meeting up in "The City", in the Willlis Building - this was the summer meeting of EPIC (Ex Police in Industry and Commerce) where we had six excellent speakers during the day and some opportunities for networking.
BUT - despite the fact that they have officially declared a drought in East Anglia, parts of Wales and south England, it rained here. There I was, peering out the 15th floor restaurant expecting sun, but it was pouring / chucking it down.
Anyway, to cut a long story short made it back on a faster train to Eagham, then made it to the house for a well deserved session with the feet up.
While out and about the "girls" has been birdwatching and had the pleasure of several visits from a lovely woodpecker to the feeding trays, but they were not fast enough on the camera to get a photo.
Prince Philip and wee Camryn Denny have their birthdays today, and I share mine with the Queen tomorrow so we are going to pop up to London again seeing as how there is to be a big Trooping of the Colours - in my honour - NOT. We had a brief presentation from the Dep Commissioner of the City of London Police who is having his first official ride out tomorrow - they have even named a horse after him - Jack.
