David S. led our group through Richmond Park
over to Petersham and to the river to Richmond
bridge. We had lunch at The London Apprentice, sitting outside. A nice pub, one
of my favourites for location and food. About six of us continued to Teddington
to visit Phill. He looks well, with rosy cheeks and extra weight. He says he is
eating well but misses not being able to ride in the fresh air. We left him a
Cycling Weekly with Olympic photos; we also signed a card for him to read and
keep. On the way out I asked a nurse if they could take him in a wheelchair to
the garden to sit outside when the weather is good. She seemed very amenable
and said they would take him out the next day. As we left, we saw Phil walk
with his zimmer frame. He seems well in himself; and says his daughter cycles
over to see him. On the way back, David showed us Mo Farah's gold post box in
Teddington High Street. We had our photo taken by a passer-by, so maybe that
will come on the blog next. We continued through Bushy Park
and stopped at 5 at the Bridge for tea.
