It was great to be able to spend a week in Ewell (Epsom) with Ted's mum - at almost 88 a going concern and happy to host the family for our visit. It was lovely to meet prospective new family members and significant others - namely Jo and Jono. Drives a different direction each day to enjoy country pub lunches and walks in Richmond and Nonsuch Park, the Downs and for Ted the neighborhood were lovely. Notices in Richmond warned to be careful of baby Roe deer, we saw plenty of adults but no young yet. We were a bit early for the rhodedendrun show in the Isabella Plantation but lucky enough to get a view of St. Paul's cathedral dome from Harry's Mount (about 10 miles away.) Look carefully!
Between their trips to the west country and Turkey, we managed to catch up with Ted's brother David and Shelagh and fit in another country pub lunch near their home in Great Bookham.
