We had an honoured guest for our ride today and it was a happy occasion to have Pam Jones with us. From Claygate DC we decided, on the day of course, to wend our way to the London Apprentice Isleworth. On the way we usually include a short stop at JMW Turner's house in Sandycoombe Road in Twickenham. As we have got to know most of the nooks and crannies in our immediate area, we were able to introduce Pam to some small diversions previously unknown to her.
We enjoyed our lunch outside in the sunshine despite the aircraft flying low overhead at minute intervals. Afterwards we agreed to divide into two groups, one going to the Walled Garden, Sunbury as it is a pleasant tea stop and also on the way home for Pam. The other group aimed for Kew Bridge and around to Richmond Park where only two of us stopped for refreshment. We were amazed that we were just about the only cyclists there as it is usually heaving with them but then found that it had already been invaded that morning.
