17 June the kingstons

We picked up a Sixt rental car to get to Essex, along with a bunch of tulips not yet in bloom. It was a circuitous trip out of London, then a breeze on m11 m25. It was almost noon when we met the Kingstons. She absolutely loved the flowers.

Lunch at Prezzo was a rich gooey affair with pastas and lagsana.

Then we got back to their place for a little dessert before rushing back to London. H was to join us for dinner at Lamington so we did a super quick grab at Tesco before whipping up a 'failed' seafood chowder dinner.

The kid watched a couple of TV programs before we walked her to GoldHawk St for a train back. Under our charge, she is still our little girl, even if she should be 23 this year.
