Grey day

Day 6 - Staines to Windsor, Friday - and the exhaustion really kicked in. I'd looked forward to this section as it included Runnymede and the peace memorials. But it was a dreary walk with traffic noise and pollution most of the way. The constant noise of planes going into Heathrow drowned out the screeching green parakeets, but otherwise didn't enhance the experience. Windsor was full of bunting and a community payback team was repainting the railings. What a welcome! Sadly not for us. Still it was good to get our first glimpse of the castle and to hear the choirs and bands rehearsing for the little jubilee do being put on for her majesty the next day. Fell asleep as soon as we got to our room and only woke briefly to shower and find food
