Walking to Windsor for lunch.


Windsor Castle from Eaton
It’s a rest day and that means getting out for a walk and writing an article. No driving today just a nice walk to Windsor for lunch and then back home. 

Cricket on Eaton playing field 
I’d walked this route a few times over the winter and thought how I’d photograph a cricket match being played on the ground, over the last few weeks I’ve watched them prepare the pitch in anticipation of the new season and today there was a match. Not sure my photos do it justice but they’re here. 

Hawker Hurricane model
Near the Thames Windsor 
I went to five guys for lunch a small bacon burger, small fries and a milkshake. I sat down watched some you tile and had a nice lunch. I walked down to Cex to see if they had and nice lens traded in but there was just the standard 18mm-55mm which I already have. 
Thames swans courting
I went for a walk by the Thames to get some more pictures. The Windsor eye is in Alexandra gardens for the summer but I didn’t stump up the £10 for a ride. I did get the Hawker Hurricane which is a tribute to Sydney Camm the designer who lived in Windsor for his whole life and would of course design other aircraft like the Hunter and Harrier. It’s swan mating season and as a result they are boisterous and excited. I tried for a long time to get two swans head to head to form a heart but they just won’t play ball with photographers, so this is as close as I got. 

Bluebells 
It was a nice walk home, I did stop to take some pictures of bluebells with the lens wide open to create some nice boca behind. 

It’s been a nice day out and I’ve taken some nice pictures too. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. 

Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  ℬ𝒾𝓈𝒸𝑜𝒻𝒻 𝒷𝒾𝓈𝒸𝓊𝒾𝓉 𝒶𝓃𝒹 ℳ𝑜𝒸𝒽𝒶 On the way home from the gym I really wanted a pasty for tea tonight so after a healthy lunch I went to the Windsor farm shop to get an old Windsor pasty, well two actually I’ll have one tomorrow as well.  𝒲𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓈𝑜𝓇 ℱ𝒶𝓇𝓂 𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓅 ℐ𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇𝒾𝑜𝓇  There’s a lot on offer in the farm shop itself, there’s essentially a whole village of shops wrapped up into one. There’s a bakery, butcher, delicatessen and a small off licence too. Be warned yes all the products are really nice but the do have a premium price too ! 𝒲𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓈𝑜𝓇 𝒻𝒶𝓇𝓂 𝓈𝒽𝑜𝓅 𝒾𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇𝒾𝑜𝓇 But if it’s pay day or treat day it’s worth a look and if you’re already out you can visit Runnymede memorials or the air force’s memorial as they are close by.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Lunchtime walk to Windsor

𝒲𝒾𝓃𝒹𝓈𝑜𝓇 𝒞𝒶𝓈𝓉𝓁𝑒 𝒻𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝒫𝑒𝒶𝓈𝒸𝑜𝒹  𝓈𝓉𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓉 After spending the morning watching Kubrick’s Lolita and then writing about it I needed some fresh air, so with the headphones freshly charged I was up and out. There was no evidence of the Slough Grand Prix today so it must have been a quiet night. The only eyesore is the refuse on the streets, the fortnightly collection means bin bags get piled up and the ripped apart by the ever growing numbers of urban foxes looking for the rotting food inside. As I get out of the town I regret my outfit, I’m wearing a base layer, a wooly jumper and a coat the sun is bright and I’m getting hot. I’ve only bought a camera bag with me so I’ll have to suffer it and take the lesson. ℱ𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝑔𝓊𝓎‘𝓈  ℬ𝓊𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓇 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒻𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓈 As I get to Eaton it’s full of activity there are boys running between classes in tails and a few tourists wondering around, I was once asked by a Japanese tourist where Eaton college was I told him tha...
