Multipurpose Car Trailer

A car trailer turned up at my neighbour's.  I cannot image any of their car actually fit in a car trailer.  Then it turns out, you don't have to only move a car in a car trailer, it can move a lot of boxes!  They were moving, possibly just borrowed any trailers available.

Fradley's Horsepower

I was chatting with Pete about cars, his Fiesta ST has 180 bhp.  And it only occurred to me that Fradley (118bhp) actually has more horsepower than Unthank (106bhp)!

But of course, the power to weight ratio, Unthank is much lighter.

British Currywurst

Chip shop curry sauce + battered/fried sausage = British currywurst.  I like the German ones better.

Greyhound Racing

I popped by a local greyhound track, and saw some running dogs.  Another British experience ticked.

Slough Day 7 - M25 Car Park Beds and Bucks

We packed up and left.  We hopped onto M25, and we met the infamous M25 Car Park.  There was supposedly a vehicle fire, and the 30 minute drives to Luton turned into a 1.5 hours drive.

We stopped at Stockwell Park for a lunch and a walk around.  Some of their collections were closed to public, but there were still plenty to see and walk around.

Then we drove to Bradwell Windmill for a harvest festival.  It was a restored windmill, but mostly cosmetic.  We fueled up, stopped at another Waitrose for the toilets, but their coffee machine was down, much to our distress.

Dairy milk powered our last leg of the journey.

Slough Day 6 - Battersea

My friends told us about CelebrAsia, after some research, we decided to have a day out at Battersea, combining it with Go Ape Battersea.  We also got some cheap train tickets, which also helps.

We had the Windsor farm shop sausages for breakfast, they are okay.  Then we brought our pack lunch to the station, and ate them on the train.  We walked around the park, before going onto Go Ape.  There were no chipped zipwire landing, so we stayed quite clean.  The course was longer than expected, it took us full two hours and we were quite tired by the end.

We went to the Power Station, had a look at their little museum.  It is big!

We started walking around and started grazing.  Most of the food was much Anglicized, how could a gado gado has no heat, negligible shrimp paste, no rice cake, no tempeh, no prawn crackers, but I won't complain about the satays. 

Meanwhile, my friend was stuck in traffic, after refusing to take the tube.  They arrived just before 8pm, and we had a quick hi and byes before we had to start walking back to the station.

Slough Day 5 - Windsor

We could do with a calm day, so we went to have an easy day out in the Windsor town.  We parked up and walked in.  We saw the changing of the guards.

We had a look around some library, parks, supermarket, charity shops, just about the normal things we do.  We even crossed the river into Eton.  We went back to the car on the Long Walk, which felt like forever, and drove home via the farm shop.
