February half-term, and we headed south. We flew down to Gatwick in the wee small hours, then took a train into London to Catherine & Matt's. We spent a couple of days with them, and had a nice time at the Horniman Museum and Battersea Park where Louis and I rented funny little recumbent bikes.
Next stop was Pat & John in Saffron Walden, where we went canoeing (not punting!) on the otherwise deserted Cam, took in a couple of movies (Sing and Lego Batman, the latter was much better) and went to Hatfield Forest (where the boats were not for hire, alas).
After that we rented a car and drove to Brighton, there to meet with Kate & Mick. We strolled along the front, gawped at the ruined west pier and the BA i360, then repaired to V.I.P. for a very nice pizza and very very nice churros-like things I forget the name of.
We stayed with Nikki & Tim in East Grinstead, then next day met Kate again for brunch in Haywards Heath, after a very nice stroll with Martha the dog in Victoria Park.
Then it was back to Nikki & Tim's for afternoon drinking, then dinner and a non-skiing reunion with Liz & Ric and all their kids. Then back on a plane to Edinburgh.
Crazy week, but great fun.
