Weekend Activities in the UK

We have just had a very busy and fun weekend in London. It began Friday night with a trip to the Reebok Gym at Canary Wharf for a game of badminton for David and a run and swim for Sue.  Fish and chips back at the apartment was a semi indulgent treat as it was the Waitrose version so much 'healthier' than the chip shop variety.

Saturday we headed to the Emirates Stadium to see Muse in concert. Hot dogs and beers were probably not the best preparation for our Sunday morning activity but in keeping with our aim to eat local food this weekend (not planned, but quite tasty).

Sunday we hired a zip car and drove out to Windsor for David to compete in the inaugural Royal Windsor Half Marathon Trail Run.  David had a great race finishing in 1hr 57mins with a big grin on his face.

While David toiled away, I went exploring the local area. Eton high street was very picturesque and walking to Eton college I passed some interesting shops including this men's clothing store specialising in Eton college apparel.  Windsor castle was very popular with the many tourists enjoying the sunshine that finally made an appearance. Unfortunately we didn't have time after the race to explore further but I think Windsor is well worth another visit.

It's a Bank Holiday in the UK tomorrow and Memorial Day in the US but we will be in the air for most of the day. By the time we land we will know if David's football team, Crystal Palace have won the playoff game at Wembley Stadium and are heading back to the Premiership League - please keep everything crossed friends!
