Twickenham

First we made for the Rugger Stadium, which is quite a long way from Twickenham itself, right out in the fields. We went round the back and saw some of the fields.

We then made our way to Twickenham itself, driving right through the middle of it. It’s quite a long High Street and very broad and Wendy was very impressed. At the end, we went round Twickenham Green and then decided to visit Turner’s House on the way back there. We got lost, which meant we were able to see something of a very pretty waterfront.

We eventually discovered Turner’s house, which in itself is very pretty, but set in the middle of suburbia with houses all round – I wish I had taken a photo of the surrounding area.

But the original print from Wikipedia shows how pretty it must have been originally.

Then back to Richmond Bridge – an approach to Richmond I had not seen before. We decided to visit Lichfield Court, a block of flats in art nouveau style, which Wendy feels might be very suitable for Fiona. We went all round it, and we had a good look and even saw the interior courtyard and I took a lot of photos. Yes, it could be very suitable.

Then return and had omelettes for supper. We had a big delivery from Sainsbury’s on Saturday and they substituted boxes of 15 mixed eggs for 12 large eggs, so we must use them up quickly.

Last week I mowed the grass, which was beginning to look very straggly, but now looks quite smart
