Well another year has slipped past in a flurry of activity! Before you know it we have past off into 2011 and are getting ready for another year….
We had a wonderful break for Christmas and got over the hangover from the New Year party and now it is back to business as usual!
Looking forward to summer and all the good weather
Well the sad news is that Joanna’s body has been found in the Windsor Park. Blunt force trauma caused her death.
Reading about the story it would appear that IF her husband did it then it was all about the money involved in the divorce. He is (or was!) a captain for British Airways and was thus pretty well off himself! When these guys can earn over £150,000 a year I don’t think we have to cry about their living standards.
I hope their kids are being well looked after. They now have a life without their mother and the next 15 years with no father! Thats if they ever want to know him again after all this….
Tun Cottage is in the news every day for all the wrong reasons. We really hope that the news is not as bad as it seems, but it is all pointing to some depressing news about owner Joanna Brown.
As an update to this posting, it now appears that the body of Joanna has been found in the woods around Legoland. We hope that her 2 young children get the very best in treatment for their futures and can only wish them all the best.

stayed with us in October 2010 – it was early in the morning this photo was taken, so that’s my excuse for looking bad!
Robin was playing a one night gig at the local arts centre in Windsor. I really enjoyed the short chat we had and found out that he had a really great sense of humour and was my total pleasure to have been able to look after him.

Every now and again I hear of something that just gets me a bit mad. Today I heard from a friend who was recently travelling out to Lagos Nigeria who told me that almost everyone he spoke to on the flight who was travelling in First Class with him, was working for one of the local charities! Now he’s no pauper, and his company were paying his flight, but who pays the charity workers for their flight tickets? Is it ME!
Makes me wonder why I’m giving to the charities when they squander money like this – have they not heard of Tourist Class – even Business class would be better……
OK – had my rant – I feel better now!
I have just finished serving up breakfast and had a wonderful morning myself. Not to say I don’t have wonderful mornings in general, but today was better than usual.
WE had so many friendly people staying – they were all chatting to each other over breakfast – it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves.
When people are so nice it makes my whole job worth while and I very much enjoyed chatting away.
We had the pleasure of a visit from Rick Steves recently – he came to stay for the night and to have a look around Langton House and Windsor.
I have met Rick before, as either he or one of his associates comes around every year just to check out the accommodation that is recommended in his guide book. He is a really friendly and amusing man, and very easy to see that the on screen persona is exactly the same as the real person.

Did I just say that??? I think the ever so rich and over privileged Rooney deserves all he gets in the coming weeks. He is now asking for some privacy! I think he should have thought about his action just a little bit more before rather than after the event!
I think we should continue to invade his “privacy” and continue his embarrassment as long as possible as a lesson to him and the other footballers who seems to conveniently forget they are role models to thousands of young children.
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.
