Twelve good miles

Brill walk, about 12 miles in total. It didn't start well with us missing each other at Barnes Station then missing the train to Shepperton. We then didn't realise you couldn't use your Oyster card for the whole way so each got a £4 fine. It then looked like it was going to rain but actually it didn't. It was a really beautiful walk and when we got to Hampton Court there were rowing races and floating weddings - all sort of merging into one. We walked to Kingston where I stopped off at John Lewis to buy a bit of trimming I needed - I resisted the temptation to try on a rather smart dress that I thought I might wear for ID Jane's party and rejoined Alison outside JL for a bit more of a plod as far as Teddington. We ended up at Alison's for yummy tea and home made chocolate chip cookies. The only downside was I ended up with a monster headache which I think was from not drinking enough water. I still have it,
