Is this the first day of spring? Certainly feels like it. We check out the plays at the National Theatre, then off by train to Thames Ditton. Jenny and her other are there and Doug comes back for lunch. Then Emma joins us with baby Jasmine, born in January. She's bright eyed and absolutely lovely. After lunch a walk in the area minus Doug who has gone back to renovations. Gloriously full camellias, violets, cherry blossoms, and magnolias. It's a beautiful town and day. Jasmine sleeps in her pram.
Use their computer to book 3 days in Dublin - a maddening procedure but done now.
We take the train back to Waterloo, but get halfway there (New Malden) before J says that's as far as he goes without a loo. New Malden has a toilet opening onto the platform - or rather not opening as it's locked in the evening. J disappears down the path and I make no inquiries. Ten minutes later another train to Waterloo.
