In and around Epsom on Saturday. A little bit of shopping, and a walk around the town. 
I saw Ian at his Bread and Cheese stall, all a very impressive little business all run from a converted Ambulance.
He invited me in and made me a cup of tea. I also purchased some great cheese, ham and a bread roll to make a sandwich at Mums, before setting off decorate 24 Burghfield.
I ended the evening late, with
a meal at Helen and Micks.
Some Photos of Epsom during my walk around in the cold chilly morning the wind was very strong yet the sun shone. it was a lovely day.
The view from the Downs was great could see planes landing at Heathrow and clearly see Battersea powerstation, Westminster, The London Eye, St Pauls, and the City of London right around to Canary Wharf just behind Epsom College
So the time has come to get ready to leave the UK.
Not sure if and when I will next return. Work having brought me here is undergoing a lot of change.
It has been a long stay this time, seemingly longer than most, for many reasons and now is the time to say goodbye and also hello.
