Today my colleague and I drove 90 minutes from Windsor to the town of Hursley in Hampshire England where my employer has a large estate turned research laboratory. The site was beautiful — cricket and tennis courts, rolling green hills, Queen Anne architecture. The drive to Hursley took us through the beautiful English countryside, even if things aren’t green yet for spring. 

At the end of the day, my colleague drove me 2+ hours back to Slough where I then hopped on an express train to Paddington (see Paddington Bear statue.)

For dinner in London I enjoyed pork sausages, cabbage and onions in brown gravy at the The Chapel pub..so yummy! They had a few craft beers so I enjoyed a Rocky Head Brewery American Pale Ale bottled six months ago in London. It was good but a little too hoppy for my taste.
