During the morning we finished all the packing and Jennifer cleared out all the food that would not be eaten etc and then we turned down all the central heating and commenced hitting power switches to the off mode, anything to save cash.
For lunch rather then mess about we headed off at bout 14.00 to the Silvermere Golf club for a bite to eat, Jennifer had the Steak and Ale pie with veggies, which looked really good and Noel had the fish and chips. We are not sure what the cause was , perhaps the fish and chip and later in the afternoon Noel had a bad turn and we so we had to delay the Taxi to Gatwick for a while so as to ensure he would be safe to travel. Was it was the fish or that something had been cooked in oil previously used for garlic or onions we don't know but will make enquires when we get back home as on previous times with the same item no issues at all, so all rather strange.

The Taxi collected us just before 19.30 and the riad were pretty much empty and no blockages at all anywhere unlike Weybridge where the driver informed they had put construction traffic lights at the roundabout next to Weybridge Station and it was causing chaos for miles around. We arrived at Gatwick South terminal and said goodbye to the taxi and headed in to the terminal for an early bag drop off and of course expecting a large crowd only we woz wrong. All you have is lots of scales and screens where you put in your boarding pass and the machine reads it and with your bag on the scales it prints off a baggage tag which you affix and then once the screen says is all complete, or something like, that you say yes and your suitcase disappears in to the depts of Gatwick baggage handling facilities , perhaps never to be seen again.
From there we walked to the Hilton Hotel and you had to use the lifts in the car park but the buttons were so old you could not read the floor numbers, most stupid. The Hotel bar was busy as we arrived but we went straight to the room for a quiet evening watching tv as we would be up much earlier tomorrow morning than our normal time. We watched a tv detective series on channels 5 which was quite interesting.
And so to bed
