All About Windsor from Langton House bed and breakfast

Dear Paul, Thanks so much for making our last night in England so comfortable and easy. Langton House is a real jewel: nicely appointed, spotlessly clean and situated in a very convenient and charming neighbourhood. We also we very much appreciate the time you took with us going over local directions and sights & services. To top it off, the drive to London Heathrow Airport in the morning was a breeze, just 15 minutes down the M4. Really great! See you next time.

We now have a slightly modern 4 poster pine bed and matching new furniture in the room. This along with the recently renovated bathroom with lovely powerful shower and marble décor adds to the overall luxury feel of the room. We personally love this room and we think you will too!

Even though we have just had a cancellation due to the impending industrial action, British Airways has recently been voted as the winner in the Best First Class airline, and received runners up in almost every other airline category.

So it would seem that they still have a good reputation in spit of all the troubles they have had and in fact are still having.

I only hope they sort out the strike before my holiday!

Or indeed, does it? After the top of the UK gets another dose of ash cloud are we doomed for more of the same?

I really hope not! It has done enough damage just as a threat, let alone the fact that it has not really done any damage in the south of England to date….

Since beating the Liberal Democrats into the Castle Without ward in May 2007, Catherine Bursnall has risen quickly risen up the ranks and is set to become the youngest ever Mayor when she replaces the current Mayor on May 25.

I have had the “pleasure” of seeing the current mayor, Jesse Grey, in early 2010 and I was rather under-whelmed by the experience! I am sure he is a very good person and doing a stand up job, but I did wonder how he got the job in the first place as his public speaking left rather allot to be desired.

We wish Catherine Bursnall, or Cat as she likes to be called, all the very best in her new role.

As we head into day 2 of the flight ban above the UK I’m starting to wonder if this will have an even bigger effect on even my business?

It all started as a bit of a laugh….Closing down the air space! No aircraft noise for an afternoon! Except now I’m not laughing.

If this does go on it has impacts that reach much further into the country and the economy. There are so many associated businesses around here that rely on the airport, from the thousands of airport workers to the travelling public.

This volcano could continue to erupt for weeks!

How long will this go on for

Now it may almost be the middle of April, but it’s getting cold AGAIN! I really can  not believe it, it is due to go down to 3 C over night in a couple of nights time…

When will it ever be truly spring? We get a wonderful number of spring blue bells in the front garden, they have not even flowered yet this year…

Come on spring, where are you!

not only has he been caught by the police in Australia, but now he’s been dubbed a “dickhead” by a Government official!

As if he has not got enough problems with al his money, fast cars and women!!!

I’m glad I’ve not got those awful problems in my life!

I decided I’m saving up to buy British Airways. I’m sure that after the strike has eventually finished I might as well get in there early to buy it up as I’m sure it will have lost so much money it will be a bargain…..At least this way the ownership will stay in the UK, otherwise I’m sure one of the cash rich Arab states like the UAE will be jumping on them as a great investment.

I hope the unions and management start to see this sort of prospect as a real alternative.

I see the staff as caught in the middle of some heavy hitters with Willie Walsh on one hand and Tony Woodley on the other. I question whether they are really putting the staff at the centre of their thoughts as opposed to their own social and work standings.

Dear Paul: Our stay at Langton House was just too short! You were an awesome host, the room was superb, the breakfast room was very hospitable and the location was superb! We enjoyed the cleanliness and were amazed that even though you are under a flight path, we could not even hear a plane. Thank you for allowing us to leave our car there, that was very convenient.

How many medals did we win?

Thank you Paul. We would definitely return.
