  Awake at 0700 and did my 3x 33 pressuos Didn’t take anything out of my bag and decided to take laptop. I had planned for 0800 departure but eventually left at 0815. Seems I missed one bus but another 461 at 0837. Flew into Kingston and was on Sl7 at 0912.  Chatted with lady who was the sign designer at the airports . Prefer the ones at Palma airport to Heathrow   Im sitting    at London Heathrow airport noticing the signage .  I’m wondering if there should be an international standard for arrivals and departures signs ?  Then again I do like the slight differences between countries.  In Spain the departures has half line to the left showing leaving the ground and the arrivals sign has half line to the right showing an approach to the ground.  In Heathrow the ground line is a continuous line .  Both arrivals signs have wheels shown on the arrivals plane .  However the Heathrow arrivals sign is a horizontal plane and the Spanish arr...

Cycling in Newbury - Jeremy - Day 4 of 4

-
Image
  Day 4 of 4 What have the Romans ever done for us ? Today’s cycle took us through Silchester the old Roman City where we discovered the amphitheater. Spent some time here among the forgotten ruins . Situated on the old London to Bath road . Who knew . The forecast was rain so we got wet. Once again a beautiful labyrinth of country B roads ideal for cycling . Total 45 km . The end of an enjoyable 4 days get together.

Cycling in Newbury - Jeremy - Day 3 of 4

-
Image
  Day 3 of 4 Rain soaked morning along a route going South towards Basingstoke. I really like the canal path that goes under the M4 which we later recross over. Taking time out to wave out yonder westwards towards Wales. Some ducks took a liking but why was there only two ducklings ? There’s normally 6 or 8. That’s reminded me of a ducking rescue a few years ago . More birds identified via the app . Along the route , a woodpecker , chifchaff, blackbird, and Robin Passed Infant school date MDCCCXLI . Wow 1841. 184 years ago . The route used a lot of national route 23 along quiet country roads. Took a photo on Welshman’s Road. How appropriate! 57 km . But generally the rain stayed away during the afternoon. Feeling good ready to plan tomorrow.
