And then we were off to Clarkson's Farm for lunch. The line to get into the shop was very long but going around back for lunch, we got a table and had truly great burgers! That and Clarkson's Hawkstone lager and an Eton Mess for dessert made for a great afternoon lunch. Eton Mess is meringue, cream, strawberries & sugar. It is an excellent dessert, have to make some though our strawberries here are bred for color. English strawberries don't look very nice but are significantly sweeter and tastier. It's really easy to find fault in the U.S. when traveling, much in the same way I expect foreign travelers would feel coming here. The little fresh food I had from the local market in Paddington, I can say food is better quality in England. It's original seed, or what we would call heirloom, not genetically modified for color and transport over flavor. I bought some gorgeous, deep red strawberries at Whole Foods the other day. They tasted like cardboard compared to the strawberries I got at the market and in the Eton Mess. Rant over. Grass is always greener...

A very special day thanks to the Captain.
