Monday was our first day back at work since the clocks had gone back, and the difference when leaving work in the darkness of night was definitely noticeable.
This week was a busy week for Roslyn as she was assisting on a number of events including the London Tech Week launch, and the Silicon Valley Comes to the UK (SVC2UK) series. The most notable was a dinner at the royal digs, Windsor Castle, on Thursday night.
Saturday was the 5th November, Guy Fawkes Day. Ever since Guy Fawkes' failed plot to blow up parliament in 1605, the failure has been celebrated with bonfires and fireworks.
As is tradition, there was a large pyrotechnics show planned at Battersea Park but we were unprepared and had missed out on buying tickets! Much like when we had missed out on tickets to Chelsea Flower Show, Brendan went to Facebook in search of people who he did not know offering up their admission. We struck lucky and headed down to the park at lunchtime to claim our purchase. The autumnal display in the park today was particularly on point.
Brunch followed at The Prince Albert, a gastropub known for its cow statues on the roof.
The setting for the bonfire and fireworks on Saturday night were much better than last year. Last year there had been heavy rain in the days leading up to and the morning of the event, and the grounds at the park were really wet and muddy. This year the temperature was pretty chilly, but there were no puddles to dodge.
Sunday we spent around Clapham Junction.
Highlights for the week:
- Roslyn at Windsor Castle
- Autumnal feels in Battersea Park
