Just a mile down the road and we're at our third of the day. We liked this pub, with its out of the ordinary central bar feature and courteous staff. Pudding time, I had the sticky toffee, Mrs S. the pancakes and Duffy the crumble. Sadly no Buffalo Trace so I had to make do with Makers Mark (oh, what a hardship!) Mrs S. had a Pepsi and Duffy a G&T. We ended up staying a while and several more drinks were consumed... purely medicinal as we thought it looked like it was starting to get a bit cold outside. Once again, a nice way to spend an afternoon and the plan is to do it all again next week. Duffy is Scottish so we thought we would head to a pub in Twickenham for the start of the 6 Nations next Saturday, of course, we'll let you know how it goes.

Our second pub of the day was not far away but it took a while to get there due to the amount of traffic. We managed to find somewhere to park just across the road and rushed to take some photos before it got to dark, we didn't quite make it. This pub was a bit more modern inside than the previous and definitely in a better state of repair. It was quiet inside and as the three of us only had a large latte each we didn't tax the staff to much. We quite liked this place but our local boy was keen to move on to the next, I think it was one of his old haunts... (Ghost, haunt... did you see what I did there?)

Nobody fancied cooking Sunday lunch and the nearest unvisited 'spoons was in Hounslow. As it happens a ex-work colleague also lives in Hounslow so arranged to meet at The Moon Under Water'. We took the photo before we went in and didn't spot his ghostly image through the window until looking back through the pictures later. Yes, he really does look like that! The pub was a bit shabby inside but the staff were friendly and the service was accurate and prompt. I went for the roast beef and a pint with Mrs S. opting for the roast pork and Pepsi. We had a bit of a plan of where to go next, but what would we have for pudding when we got there?

What can I say, once again work has decided that I need to be in a different country and so I find myself back at Heathrow. This time I'm flying from Terminal four, which means that I get to visit 'The Windsor Castle'. Not much to say about this one, it was clean, the staff were friendly and prompt but it was soulless and the coffee was expensive compared to the more usual Wetherspoon prices. It's basically just one to tick off the list.
