Grigoria's Parents (Autumn) Visit..


Although Grigoria’s parents arrived on Tuesday evening, today was our first real opportunity to spend some quality time with them, so we headed to Windsor & Eton.

Despite the chilly autumn weather it was still nice enough for us all to start our visit with a walk around Eton which is better known for the college than a quant village of small antique shops, galleries and formal tailors.


Following lunch at a nice pub, we headed across the river Thames to Windsor so that Grigoria’s parents could take in a closer look of the castle, but unfortunately it had just closed.

Instead we walked around the old town streets, towards to Royal Great Park; http://www.royal-windsor.com/greatpark.htm and admired the ‘Man on the Copper Horse' in the far distance.


From the park we walked back through the town before heading back to London for dinner at Maria (Grigoria’s sister) & Alastair’s place.

All and all a great day discovering Windsor and spending time with the Grigoria’s family.
