Farewell to Kensington High Street Cyber Cafe

This is our last visit to our dear old Cyber Cafe. Going back to get some grub at Marks and Spencer(ate in a pub today in Windsor). Tomorrow will find us eating fast, and getting tube and train back to Gatwick for our homeward flight - it will be good to get home. For all we've seen and done, it feels like we've been gone a month.

Windsor was great - saw the changing of the guard. Saw the bullet that killed Nelson at Trafalgar. Saw tombs and more.
I was impressed with these words at King George VI's tomb:


At a most hopeless point in the war when George VI felt he did not even have a light at the end of the tunnel to offer his poor beleaguered subjects, he shared this with them during his radio broadcast of Christmas 1939, 'I said to the man who stood at the Gate of the Year, "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown." And he replied, "Go out into the darkness, and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way."' May that Almighty Hand guide and uphold us all.’
