The ales and wines flowed considerably at the party afterward. Chilean wines to accompany a lovely piece of sea bass, and for the main course a filet mignon. The dessert was a form of meringue broken into pieces and covered with cream and raspberries, similar to the Oz/Kiwi pavlova. A tri-level cake of fruit-cake with marzipan, devil's food on the second layer and a yellow cake to top it. Dancing finished the evening. Some folk stayed up till 4:30AM; we sensibly went to bed at a reasonable hour.
The English breakfasts are always superb, with meaty bacon, sausages, fried eggs, crispy potatoes, mushrooms and tomatoes. Baked beans are available. Fruit selection excellent too. No chance at a meat pie though.
At Heathrow, to us a painless airport. Off to Paris.
