The first of a series of postcards from my recent trip to England that I'll be posting over the next several weeks. On what was supposed to be our final day in England, October 10th, one of my clients met us at Cliveden and took us on a delightful driving tour through some of the nearby picturesque villages. Of special note was the village of Cookham and its old Anglican church.

After enjoying tea with our host at her club, Stoke Park, she drove us to Windsor. One of the royal palacesm Windsor was the setting for the recent royal marriage of Andrew and Meaghan. A somewhat touristy town, but it was fun walking through its streets and seeing the palace.

Windsor is quite close to Heathrow airport. I spotted this Etihad Airbus 380 plane on its final approach. The jet wasn't as close as it seems in the photograph, but you can sense the size of this 380 double-deck aircraft. We finished our day with an enjoyable pub dinner at The Crown at Bray.
