We had a great time with a meal at <a title="Ask Italian Restaurant" href="https://www.askitalian.co.uk/restaurants/london-islington" target="_blank">Ask</a> and then ice creams in <a title="Udderlicious - Islington" href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Udderlicious/458300437601392" target="_blank">Udderlicious</a> on Islington Upper Street. The last time we saw Perry &amp; Colleen was in <a title="Australia 2005" href="http://pigyard.com/Oz_2005_Page1.htm" target="_blank">November 2005 when we visited them in Melbourne</a>.

Travelling down to London on the A1 isn't too bad but it does take three hours so we had a very comfortable overnight stay at Richard and Nicola's. After breakfast we called in on Jane's mum at her care home in Barnet. Her mum is bed bound and tires easily so after about an hour she was ready for a snooze which was time for us to leave for the long drive home.
