Being in the UK you must talk about the weather. It seemed to rain most of the night and there were still heavy showers in the morning. We left Woodford Bridge at 10:15am and headed towards Heathrow. Ken took us a different route to Taunton which took us through a few villages we hadn't seen before. We drove through patches of very heavy rain that slowed us down a bit but we had loads of time so we weren't concerned. We were looking for somewhere for lunch when we saw a sign for Bath which looked promising. Just off the M4 on the Bath road was a little pub called the Crown all on it's own in the middle of nowhere. When we walked in it was packed and any spare tables had reserved signs on them, they managed to find us a table tucked away in a back corner which was fine. The menu was was quite extensive and the food was delightful. We drove the few extra miles into Bath but the traffic was chaotic so we had a quick look at the canal boats, Royal Crescent and then drove back to the M4. The traffic was heavy and the rain was spasmodic but we travelled quickly until we came across a couple of accidents. After playing merry-go-rounds in Heathrow we dropped the car at Avis at 6:30pm. The shuttle took us to Terminal 3 and after a very quick check-in we were in the BA lounge enjoying a nerve calming drink. We boarded at 9:00pm ready for a thirteen hour flight.
