I have just found out that the little village I'm staying in - Jordans - is historically important. William Penn, the founder of present-day US state Pennsylvania, is buried in the cemetery of the old Quaker Meeting House right next to my hostel. The meeting house dates back to 1688, and a barn up the road is known as the Mayflower Barn - built with timbers from The Mayflower, the ship that brought the Pilgrim Fathers to America.

As the weather was really sunny and warm today in Windsor, I used my lunch break to stroll down to the Thames and over the bridge into Eton. From Windsor Castle, it is just a five minute walk onto the High Street of Eton. Famous Eton College is just a few steps further down the road - which means that Wills and Harry only had a 15 minute walk from school to their granny's place to grab some lunch.
