Quaint village and events

Home again, safe and sound after a good flight up from Heathrow by Virgin Red -  once again there was a delay, caused this time by an inbound plane with problems,  but at least the crew kept us informed, and of course we were able to get a wee G & T on the flight.

Not sure what that problem was, however, the incident on the US flight yesterday which was forced to land in Glasgow, a ploy by asylum seekers -  not even locked up -   I am sure that if their case was so clear cut the US authorities would have helped !!!!   However,  here we are again, UK taxpayers footing the bill -  methinks it is time for a radical change in this Country.

Saturday,  we had another run into Woking where William managed to pick a couple of winners,  unlike me - so perhaps I should give the ponies a miss.

Popped in to the tiny village museum in Chobham, very very interesting,  formed by a group of the locals and each week they are being handed small items / treasures - well worth a visit.  The village is very picturesque, and was visited by Queen Victoria who was reviewing thousands of troops on the nearby common.

Home, changed and headed back to Woking where we had dinner before going to the theatre,  dinner in the Azzurro Restaurant, in the Peacock Centre, was excellent, nice steak, glass of wine,  and then things went a bit downhill,  we had good seats in the centre of the stalls to see a play,  Sherlock Holmes best kept Secret,     sorry to say it was just not our scene, and we , along with several other chose to leave at half time -  sorry,  think I should stick to musicals, and of course - looking forward to seeing Susan Boyle in Edinburgh which will make up for that debacle.  Pity,  there was a good cast,  but it was too dark a setting, a bit disjointed, and hard to follow the story.

Sunday, and again we had poor weather so no chance of sunbathing before we headed to Terminal 1 Heathrow and then home to Scottish sunshine.  Well done to Andy Murray for his win at Queens Club,  hopefully a good omen for Wimbledon.       Not such good news with Heart of Midlothian football club who have announced that they are going into administration,   shame for all the loyal supporters who have been buying shares and season tickets.

Nice day today, made it to the Mercat Grill, where the staff were recovering from a very busy day yesterday, going to have to make more seating available soon.
