A slow start to the day, porridge and toast included. We decided to go for a walk on Hampstead Heath. Sarah has done some of her training on the Heath as it's only twenty minutes walk from her place. As we approached the Heath the properties became increasingly posh. I can't understand why people with an attractive house are happy to leave all the rubbish paraphernalia in the front garden! Hampstead Heath has featured in any number of books, TV programmes and movies over the years so it was interesting to at last see it. It is a mixture of wooded areas and open parkland with walking tracks criss-crossing it. We had a long walk and talk with a moccachino thrown in. Back at Sarah's we were ready for soup and toast.
I then packed a small case and, oyster card in my hot hand (Does anyone know why it is called an oyster card?), made my way over to Uxbridge to stay with an old University mate Norman and his wife June. They had stayed with us in New Zealand back in January/February. After a warm welcome and a nice cup of tea we went out for dinner to an Indian restaurant.
