Future Dessert
Our traveling companion, Miss Hannah Harvey, saw an ad for a pick-it-yourself strawberry place and strongly encouraged a visit.
It was worth the visit: later that day she used the strawberries and shortbread cookies to concoct a delicious dessert.

Wedding Chamber
According to our guide, this is the very room where Prince Charles and Camilla were married. I assume the chairs were stored elsewhere that day.

One Heart
It was lunch, so we stopped for a pasty, our go-to choice. The dining room was up a steep, narrow flight of stairs. The small area was divided with wire-glass panes that had red paper hearts taped to them, which made me think maybe a Valentine’s Day party was being held shortly.
Also, because you know how I am, I did take a photo in the restroom:

Shimmering Curtain
I really don’t do well in groups, which you’ve probably already figured out.
So this may not surprise you. There was a woman in our group in London who got on my very last nerve. She was good, too: she didn’t gradually have that effect on me. It was instant, from the very first time she spoke.
Then, later, on the bus, just after I made this photo, she tapped me on the shoulder to explain how my picture wouldn’t work, that it would only show foggy windows and nothing else. A regular photo critic, she was.
Anyway, it looks like she was right, and I’m being far to harsh about the situation. That shouldn’t surprise you, either.

Poet’s Station
So, who’s this guy? Let’s see what our friend the internet has to say about it.
Sir John Betjeman was responsible for saving the Station and the Chambers from demolition in the 1960’s. In tribute to the famous poet and railway enthusiast an 8.5ft sculpture by Martin Jennings has been designed to celebrate the man and his poetry.
