26 May 2023 Windsor: Dinner at the Pigs Head with Callum and Erica

 


After Westminster Abbey we had some lunch at a pub called the Westminster Arms.   We barely fit into the booth and soon all the tables were full.  A great lunch once again.  Then it was on the HOHO bus for a few hours of sightseeing.  We jumped off the bus at its furthest south stop so we could make our way out to where Callum lives.  We walked 45 minutes until we crossed the river.  It was a chance to stretch out our legs.  Then we went to dinner with Callum and Erica.  She is very sweet and has a very positive energy.  They were giddy together and we could tell that there is a strong connection between them.  Dinner was very good and before we knew it three hours had passes.  There was a bit of an issue getting an Uber as the wifi was a bit spotty but soon we were zooming back to Windsor for the last time in a fine Mercedes.  




We plotted a lunch stop but never made it past the Westminster Arms
