Farnborough Again ( 48 photos )
Yesterday was spent driving (via an alternative route) to Farnborough. This is the village (now a suburb) where Margaret grew up.
We visited where her parents are buried, and took a nice walk around through some parkland which was beautiful to Liz and I, but "not quite like it used to be" to Margaret. It was still quite a change from elsewhere in London, and even from last time we were here - huge quantities of Autumn leaves are everywhere.
Next was Sunday lunch at the Change of Horses pub, where Liz and I visited last we were here. A huge roast meant that dinner was not a hugely important proposition.
We visited a few more of Margaret's old haunts, before going our separate ways for the night - Liz and Margaret took a walk around the Beckenham area before relaxing at the B&B. I was off to a party in West Kensington for friend from uni Marty, who's share house is breaking up. Suffice to say, a good time was had by all, and I made it back to Beckenham on the last train around 1:30am (after waiting at the station for an hour, though). I met a few good contacts for possible jobs, so here's hoping.
