Back in the UK

Our last night in France was in the walled town of Berges. Once again a Vauben fort. Never realized there were so many of them !
  We headed for Dunkirk the next morning. Our ferry tickets were flexible so we thought we'd bring the crossing forward a week. They didn't say that flexible only applied to 3 days either side ,so ended up paying an extra £60. *%~€!
   
This is our new best friend Daisy. Andy and Mandy are having a holiday in Spain so we're going to babysit.
  Windsor is a short bike ride away so today we rode along the Thames to see the changing of the guard.
The route takes you around the rowing lake used in the Olympics . Privately owned by Eton college.
  We waited with a large crowd for the guard change
They change the guard every 2 days whether they need it or not.
And half an hour later the old guard is marched away, presumably for a good wash and a change of undies.
