Four follow me out of Uxbridge on a very wet morning: Margaret Chetty, Alan Potter, Jim Swan and John MacMillan. Heading through Yiewsley and West Drayton, we stop at Fat Boys Cafe at Poyle, for elevenses. Turning left at Datchet, my intention is to climb Crimp Hill and go through Windsor Great Park on the way to our lunch stop at Bird Hills. In view of the weather, this particular detour doesn't meet with much approval, so we take a more direct route through Oakley Green and Fifield. The rain has eased by the time we get to the golf centre. The weather has put a lot of golfers off, so we are served quite quickly. We return home in the dry through Holyport, Bray and the Jubilee River. Continuing through Slough, John leaves us near Upton. We stop at the Farm Shop at Iver for tea. We are told that the shop will close permanently on Maundy Thursday, although the cafe will continue in some form in adjacent premisies. Bernie
