Sept. 29, Monday: Last Day in Stone & on to Heathrow

We are currently tucked up at the Park Inn Radisson at Heathrow, having had a huge and pretty tasty dinner at The Pheasant Inn about a 20 minute walk from here. Fairly uneventful trip from Stone to Heathrow, and I am so very glad to have delivered the ginormous Volvo back to EuropeCar unscathed.
Tilly is so smart, she has learned to fetch the mail when it comes through the mail slot in the front door. In fact, when the mail arrives, she makes a beeline to the door at full tilt, barking all the way.



Of course Ted thinks he should get a treat as well.
After packing up this morning we walked into Stone along the canal, had a coffee, posted some maps  to Di and Brian and then headed back to Peter and Margaret's. Had a nice sandwich with good crumbly cheese and some tomatoes grown by Peter.
Stone is quite an old town as these panels of the High Street demonstrate.



Peter and Margaret promised to be our personal guides to York and the Dales when we come back to England!
