More excusions by public transport. This time from Waterloo to New Malden on our way for lunch with Peter's Aunty Bel and Uncle Fred and one of their daughter's Sarah and husband Richard. We had booked a taxi from New Malden to the Golf Club but it didn't turn up and just as we were faffing around with phones, the heavens opened! Eventually, after much shouting into the mobile, a taxi turned up. He had no knowledge of any online booking, but was very apologetic. So much for all this internet stuff! We should have telephoned!

Anyway, we arrived at the Golf Club just ahead of our hosts, so all was well. It turned out to be Bel and Fred's 67th wedding anniversary. We had a great lunch, swapped family news and pumped the older generation for information about family history and had an interesting chat with Richard (from Glasgow) about Scottish independence.

When they left after lunch the sun had come out again and it was fresh
but warm so we walked back to the train station rather than hang about
for a taxi.
