| Monday was kind of a take it easy day. Here is Rico posing in the back garden. |
 |
| Mike and I went with Nigel as he ran a few errands. This is the High Street in Carshalton. |
 |
| Nigel had to mail a few things he sold on Ebay. |
 |
| Then we ducked into the Oxfam charity shop to look for other things he could sell on Ebay. |
 |
| Here is the fireman himself driving us round a bit. |
 |
| I forget what this part of Surrey is called. |
 |
| This is the Parish Church of Chaldon. It is an old church. The present church dates back to the 10th or 11th century. I'm sure it's been fixed up a bit since then. |
 |
| Lunch at The Fox. Their website says that there has been a pub at this location since 1720. |
 |
| Here is what it looked like years ago when it was Ye Olde Foxe. |
 |
| Mmm. A steak, mushroom and Guinness pie and a pint of Strongbow. The English aren't really known for their cuisine, but to tell you the truth I am happy with a pie and a pint. The carrots appeared to be very fresh. |
 |
| Speaking of pubs, this is the Windsor Castle in Carshalton. It was voted the best pub in Sutton for 2008. I know this because they put up a sign. |
 |
| I took a walk through Carshalton when we got back from our drive. In the foreground is a war memorial and the white building in the background is the Greyhound Hotel. |
 |
| I don't know the name of the park I walked through. It's not Carshalton Park. That's somewhere else. |
 |
|
|
|
| Some boys practicing football. That's soccer to you and me. |
 |
| Were these ancient wooden football goalposts from many centuries gone by? Probably not. |
 |
| Who says there is no culture in Carshalton? (Did anyone say that?) This is the Charles Cryer Studio Theatre. No I don't know who Charles Cryer is. I'm pretty sure he is not related to Jon Cryer. |
 |
| Another pub? This one is the Coach & Horses. |
 |
| All Saints Church. You know, some churches are named for one specific saint. This one covers all the bases. |
 |
| This is a carving of Anne Bolyne, the second of Henry VIII's wives. She lost her head. This woodcarving won the 1967 Sir Otto Beit Award for the best sculpture outside London within the U.K. and the Commonwealth. So sayeth the plaque beneath it. |
 |
| We walked past the Saint Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls every time we walked to and from the Carshalton Station. Also located on the grounds is Carshalton House, which was occupied by Crown officials and their families. That's what that plaque says. |
