The shop has remained unchanged since its early days apart from changes during the COVID-19 years “There are items that can sit there for years "When somebody's trying to sort some paints out make sure they’re doing it the right way if they’re doing it themselves "That's the reason I think people kept coming back." Business Business A Premier convenience store could soon replace Leo’s Hardware at 44 St Luke's Road after 23 years in the area An application to license a new convenience store in Old Windsor is under council consideration following an objection by a nearby retailer A Premier convenience store could soon replace Leo’s Hardware at 44 St Luke's Road after 23 years in the area Applicant AV Retails Ltd has applied for a licence to sell alcohol newspapers and magazines, a pay point and a pay zone One written objection was received to the plans which involve off-premises alcohol supply from Monday to Sunday the premises previously operated as a local convenience store several years ago,” said the applicant at a licensing and public space protection order subcommittee on Wednesday Councillors learned the applicant applied to join the Premier retailer network and their application was recently approved has five years of retail industry experience “We have five Premier stores and two independent stores so we have done all this in all other shops,” the applicant told Councillor Suzanne Cross after enquiring about their history of running similar businesses Police licensing officer Debie Pearmain said Thames Valley Police wouldn’t object if the applicant agreed to conditions placed on the premises licence alongside those already offered CCTV recordings would need to be kept securely for 31 days and made available to Thames Valley Police and the DPS would be trained on the CCTV system fair trading officer Rajinder Mann from the RBWM Trading Standards and Licensing Team said they were ‘happy with some of the conditions proposed’ but added a ‘Challenge 25' policy training for proxy sales and logging sale refusals No other authorities objected to the application One written objector spoke of the ‘over-saturation of alcohol retailers’ in Old Windsor Budget Supermarket and M&S Simply Food “With four retailers already covering alcohol sales in a very close vicinity there is absolutely no justification for another off-licence in such a small village,” they wrote who owns Lyndwood Food and Wines at Lyndwood Parade in St Luke's Road said granting this licence would be ‘detrimental’ to the local economy it will put more pressure on local policing and enforcement resources while threatening the sustainability of existing independent businesses like mine and harming the progress made by nonprofits tackling alcohol-related harm in Old Windsor,” they added Reporting officer Craig Hawkings informed panel members that Co-op Food recently amended its trading hours to 6am to 11pm which reflects the same hours in this application Jeskem Singh of Rehmat Enterprises said the application would ‘disrupt the balance of the local economy’ has operated in the area since December 2022 and a petition started by Mr Singh garnered 71 signatures opposing the application for St Luke's Road Premier “The applicant really hasn’t demonstrated why this off-licence is needed when existing businesses are already meeting demand,” he added Councillors in the licensing panel sub-committee will deliberate the application and provide a response in five working days A formerly all-boys school in Old Windsor founded in 1888 has reflected on the success of its move to co-ed education – which it hopes will help combat misogyny in society and foster equality St John’s Beaumont is a prep school for children aged three to 13 having originally been asked by The Jesuit Trustees to review the school’s performance in 2022 A decision was made to transition St Johns Beaumont into a co-ed school and shortly afterward a new headteacher joined with the idea that later years will become co-ed as this cohort moves up through the school 15 per cent of the pupils from nursery to Year 4 are girls Mr Barr says the transition has been ‘very positive’ using the example of one of the girls – now in Year 4 – who has ‘integrated wonderfully’ and has joined the A-teams for football and rugby “I think it’s given the boys a really good sense that this isn’t a boys game and boys and girls can be equally good,” he said which was influenced by a growing number of parents who for practical reasons wanted their son and daughter to attend the same school “Following all the reports about misogyny in some very high profile independent senior schools we have the opportunity to make sure boys and girls grow up in an equal environment together,” Mr Barr said “It’s hopefully helping the next generation going out into society to have less antagonistic views of one another He added: “The biggest positive that I’ve seen is the way they’re interacting with each other recognising that it’s a human being first.” Mr Barr put the smoothness of the transition down to the Jesuit ethos and culture of the school – which Intellego Education has pledged to maintain said the ‘tradition of excellent teaching and the instilling of strong moral values – both as relevant today as in the past – is the legacy we are proud to have been entrusted to build upon’ “Our students understand that in our heritage as a Jesuit school visitors and guests are always made to feel very welcome “That’s a big part of our tradition and heritage – the human being is important Asked about how the girls are handling a majority male environment Mr Barr said the school has seen ‘no negative impact on the girls whatsoever.’ “The parents have really embraced it,” he said is absolutely thriving and has made really good friends Her parents can’t believe the difference between where she came from [and here].” Mr Barr said they have been ‘an absolute joy.’ “They’ve welcomed the girls just like any other new pupil starting It’s just another friend on the playground,” he said The school has made several changes to its facilities to support the transition; for example it has just unveiled a new multi-purpose artificial sports pitch designed to accommodate sports like hockey and netball Education Organisations from across the area have teamed up to clean up a section of the River Thames this Wednesday Follow me on Twitter The Thames Trade Clean-up Day brings together local organisations and businesses and the Environment Agency to help clean the river between Bray lock and the Old Windsor lock Participants will help with the clean-up in a range of ways cutting back overgrown areas on any Environment Agency moorings and checking on the swans in the river An array of organisations will be involved in the day including Swan Lifeline and Berkshire Lowland Search and Rescue.  said: “The aim will be to give back to the river in a positive way and try to set an example “This will create a feel-good community by example which will support our river users and our industry.” Environment Three teams went two-from-two in the East Berkshire League Premier Division on Saturday including defending champions Old Windsor backed up a

illegal vapes and 520 illegal cigarettes from the store in August the following year Thames Valley Police applied to review the store’s premises licence, citing a history of problems. Councillors were urged to ‘seriously consider’ revoking the licence. the RBWM licensing subcommittee decided unanimously to revoke the premises licence They agreed that the licensing objectives had been continuously undermined The panel also agreed that the designated premises supervisor ‘seemingly had no regard for the rules’ and appeared unable to manage his staff responsibly At the time of the licensing

her ‘lack of English’ had put patients at risk The Manor Care Home in Old Windsor has been taken over by a new company since Dushka Tsekova was employed there A care home nurse is set to be banned from the profession after an investigation found her ‘lack of English’ had put patients at risk who worked at The Manor Care Home in Old Windsor had been suspended for three years before the decision to ban her was made this month A Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) panel found she had wrongly recorded patient notes and ‘did not have the necessary knowledge of English to practise safely’ ‘the only sanction that would adequately protect the public and serve the public interest was a striking-off order’ The NMC regulates the industry and maintains a list of practising nurses in the UK Tsekova worked at The Manor Care Home for six months in 2019 The home was operated by Windsor Care Limited during the period of Tsekova’s employment The NMC investigation found Tsekova ‘failed to demonstrate the standards of knowledge and judgement required to practise without supervision’ Tsekova incorrectly completed patient notes to record they had been given medication multiple times when they had not - and that patients were given medication when they had not the NMC report found she was ‘unable’ to demonstrate good verbal and written English; and ‘knowledge around safe administration of medication’ ‘your [Tsekova’s] fitness to practise is impaired by reason of your lack of knowledge of English’ She was suspended for a year over the offences This order was renewed twice in the years since, but in its latest review the NMC said there was ‘no evidence’ she had taken any of the advice it recommended ‘confirmation of successful completion of or progression towards And ‘evidence that she has kept her nursing knowledge and skills up to date’ therefore Miss Tsekova remained liable to act in a way which could place patients at risk of harm,’ the report said It said: “Nearly three years of suspension have now elapsed yet there is no evidence of engagement or improvement." ‘Further suspension would serve no meaningful purpose’ and ‘the only sanction that would adequately protect the public and serve the public interest was a striking-off order’ Windsor Care Limited could not be reached for comment A Greensleeves Care spokesperson said: “The events in this case took place before we acquired The Manor Care Home in 2021 The Manor has operated under new leadership and has had no association with Miss Tsekova we support rigorous oversight and professional accountability within our sector “We appreciate the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s thorough investigation and remain committed to upholding the highest standards of care and governance across all our homes.” Tsekova’s ban comes into force from February 17 Health Voters have had their say in local council elections across Buckinghamshire.

The children now study at Lambrook, and both Prince William and Kate Middleton have endeavoured to turn the Grade II-listed house into as ‘normal’ a family home as possible. In October 2024, it was reported that armed police would be removed from the main entrances to Windsor Castle, in efforts to soothe the anxieties of tourists With four bedrooms, it is perhaps less grand than people might imagine a royal residence, but Adelaide Cottage boasts no live-in staff, with aides instead commuting to the property. The Princess of Wales found private respite in the family home, seeking refuge at Adelaide as she recovered from her abdominal surgery and chemotherapy treatments this year. As the Duchess of Edinburgh celebrates her 60th birthday today, it's likely one of her closest royal allies will be by her side whilst Rosemary Townsend’s autobiography apparently calls the house one of the coldest in Britain Grenadier Guards and other military personnel escort Queen Elizabeth II's coffin lying with the Imperial State Crown and the Sovereign's Orb and Sceptre on a procession from Shaw Farm Gate to St Georges Chapel The house was built in 1831 for William IV’s wife, Queen Adelaide, by architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville. It was then taken on by Queen Victoria who would visit the cottage for tea or breakfast Fortunately, the cottage has since been renovated, with The Times reporting major overhauls in 2015. Decorative features were apparently maintained, including gilded dolphin motifs on the bedroom ceiling as well as rope motifs from a 19th century yacht and a Graeco-Egyptian fireplace This break-in is not the first time the Crown Estate's private 655-acre royal park has been raided. On Christmas Day 2021, an intruder scaled a fence at Windsor Castle, claiming that he wanted to kill the Queen The man was later jailed for nine years on treason charges A 46-year-old Windsor man has been arrested and charged by Chatham-Kent Police was found violating the curfew and weapons conditions (shotgun shells) of his release order He was arrested in the early morning hours on Friday (Jan 17) and charged with two counts of failing to comply with the release order The suspect was also found in possession of a small quantity of meth He was also charged with possession for the purpose for

in Windsor High Street after being vacant for more than two years The bank closed its doors in July 2022 as more customers were using its online banking services The building has remained empty since then but a new licensing application submitted to the Royal Borough means the Southern Co-op company will soon take over The Southern Co-op is an independent co-operative in the south of England and ‘Welcome’ is its convenience franchise business and looks set to open at the One Maidenhead development in the town centre There are currently 70 Welcome stores run by a number of franchisees across the country A new 'Welcome' convenience store is looking to open at 12 High Street The application states the shop will sell ‘all types of convenience products’ including fresh and frozen food Customers will also be able to pay their bills and collect and send packages A licensing application to sell alcohol has been submitted to the council by Ambemaa Ltd who will run the store under the retailer’s ‘Welcome’ brand The business is seeking to sell alcohol from 6am to 11pm from Monday to Sunday A CCTV system will operate at the premises and the store will also adopt a ‘Challenge 25’ policy Alcohol is not the ‘intended focus’ of the business and there is an expectation that alcohol sales will have a ‘limited impact’ on the area as people are expected to buy alcohol with other products You can view and comment on the application by typing reference 107254/LAPL01 into the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead's licensing portal The last day for representations is Friday A multi-million pound overspend in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead’s balance sheet has grown even bigger – almost £2.5million bigger The meeting took place at York House in Windsor A multi-million pound overspend in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead’s balance sheet has grown even bigger – almost £2.5million bigger The council is now on track to soar £12.4million over budget by April next year a council cabinet meeting at York House in Windsor heard on Wednesday night New costs include more eyewatering rises in adult social care and children’s services as well as poor performance in car parking income council cabinet member Mark Wilson (Lib Dem Eton & Castle) said the Royal Borough had ‘finally crumpled to the ground’ and was on ‘life support’ A monitoring report in July said the council faced a near £10million overspend but a further update given on Wednesday put this figure at £12.4million The report outlining the latest figures described increasing pressures with social care as ‘consistent’ with national trends but highlighted shortfalls in car parking income as a separate problem The council upped its parking charges for this year’s budget in a bid to boost income Lead councillor for finance Lynne Jones (OWRA Old Windsor) said daily parking was expected to fall £800,000 short with season ticket income missing its target by £342,000 “Changing work patterns continue to affect season tickets and a detailed analysis of parking has been undertaken – the first in many years – so that we have a full understanding of our parking patterns,” she said RBWM has also been hit by nearly £1.3million in stamp duty for buying out Maidenhead Golf Club’s lease – taking the total spend this year to £16.75million Resident Andrew Hill asked how this stamp duty had been missed when the council’s budget was set Cllr Jones replied a review was taking place to identify how the overspend was missed “I would say that was a very damning communication and I think that is the structure really which is being reviewed so that shouldn’t happen,” she said Emergency financial support from government is being sought to plug the financial gap The council is also expected to draw money from unspent contingency budgets to reduce the overspend from £12.4million to £8.8million And there is a question mark over what little money is left Cllr Jones said she believed figures of £10million in reserves for 2023 had been ‘overstated and was [actually] in deficit’ Pinkney’s Green) said auditor Grant Thornton’s reports proved independently ‘there have been a huge amount of errors and mistakes.’ Cllr Werner added: “So your comments Lynne about – what I would call – the fantasy reserves figure of £10million Low council tax rates – a key manifesto promise by the borough’s former Tory leadership – also came under fire Cllr Jones criticised historic decisions to keep council tax at an ‘unsustainable level’ while government funding had been reduced which Cllr Wilson said the borough had taken council tax cuts ‘blow after blow for years’ He added: “Now with the added burden of the debt from the 2015-19 administration’s property-related decisions primarily and the external market pressure of increases with social care forced upon us from the decisions of previous governments we have finally crumpled to the ground; so we’re in intensive care – we’re on life support.” Council and politics Old Windsor Football Club are the 2024 East Berkshire Football League Premier Division champions The Os have been a dominant force this season and the league title is one part of an historic treble for the team that also includes the League Cup and the Slough Town Premier Cup this golden generation could make further history this Friday night if they can win the Ascot & Fielden District Charity Cup competition Final Old Windsor would become the first-ever team to win the quadruple The Os take on Singh Sabha in the Cup Final at The Racecourse Ground The Os have won in16 of their 18 league matches to have an unassailable lead with two games remaining The only blot in their copybook came at the hands of relegated with a draw at Singh Sabha back in September the only other time points were dropped Old Windsor are now on a 16-match winning streak in the league which continued with a 15-0 mauling of bottom side Sandhurst Reds to secure the title on Saturday The victory included a second-half hat-trick from substitute Kingsley Etefia and even a goal from Club Secretary and former player It is also the biggest win of any team in the League this season The title race was over when the visitors to Sandhurst Memorial Park took a four goals lead into the break; both Lewis Corney and Sam George at the double The champagne was popping as the goals kept on coming in the second half all five substitutes came off the bench to find the back of the net Wade with his effort that will be a contender for Moment of the Season as well as further goals from Matteo Giacobbe The defeat confirms relegation for bottom side The Reds were promoted as runners-up in Division One last season but found it more difficult in the top flight winning just four times in 19 league games The availability of players has been an issue to contend with all campaign and the fact Sandhurst has conceded 84 goals with the worst defensive record has contributed to their return to the second tier A whopping 37 of those goals conceded came in the four matches against champions South Reading moved to the top of the table in Division One with just two weeks remaining in the season following their 13-2 thrashing of third from bottom The success means the Reading-based stars have a narrow one point lead over title rivals and with the advantage of having a game in hand on the 2024 Presidents Cup winners The two rivals are due to clash at the Old Windsor Recreation Ground on Saturday 25 May Louie Soares was the chief destroyer for South Reading in the success over Eton Wick with his four goals whilst both Phillip John and Jay Wiltshire also scored hat-tricks in the victory at Whitley Wood Recreation Ground Liam Goddard came off the subs bench to hit the back of the net twice with Harrison Evans also adding to the rout KS Gryf made it six league wins on the spin to keep alive their chance of winning promotion back to the Premier Division when beating Berks Elite 4-3 at The Polish Association Emmanuel Adjei was the star man for Gryf with a hat-trick while Bogdan Lopu also found a route to goal The efforts from Berks Elite came from Inigo Urriza The three points mean Gryf remain in fifth position but with a chance of taking the last promotion place should they win both their final two league games away to Sandhurst Royals and Stoke Poges Reserves and overturn a six goals difference with F.C Baylis United who currently stand in fourth place New Windsor MP Jack Rankin said he is ‘humbled’ to have been elected and will be focusing on a range of keyissues New Windsor MP Jack Rankin said he is ‘humbled’ to have been elected and will be focusing on a range of key issues Conservative MP Mr Rankin won the Windsor seat at last week’s General Election and replaces previous Windsor MP Adam Afriyie “Voting for somebody to be your member of Parliament is putting a degree of trust in them “It’s saying I want you to represent me in Parliament “That’s thousands of people that have made that decision over the past week so it’s humbling and it’s obviously a great honour and I want to do them as much justice as possible in the new role.” With the Conservative Party losing 175 MPs across the country Mr Rankin is now the only Conservative MP in Berkshire He said: “Obviously it's disappointing for us but the electorate are always right And the message they gave across the country was different to what they gave in Windsor but millions of people have turned away from the Conservative Party and that’s our fault “We need to be honest about that and spend some months talking about why that might be the case and talking about ideas about how we rebuild and refresh and rejuvenate the party we have to learn the lessons of that and come back stronger.” Mr Rankin added that ‘like a lot of people’ he has been ‘frustrated’ by the previous Conservative Government the personal conduct of individuals within the Government and within the MPs their personal conduct wasn’t at a standard that the public expect of them I think from our core values as Conservatives.” The Windsor election saw Labour candidate Pavitar K Mann who is also a Slough Borough councillor and leader of the Slough Labour Group He believes that ‘naturally’ this would have happened due to the redrawn boundaries with the Windsor constituency now featuring other areas “The message I’ve heard loud and clear on the doorsteps in Windsor was that people feel like they’ve missed an accessible and visible local Member of Parliament and so I intend to be just that “I’ve said I’ll open an office in central Windsor I obviously live down in Sunninghill with my wife and two boys.” “[The different patches] all need individual focus I intend to rotate surgeries around the towns and villages in order to be accessible in each and every one of them Mr Rankin said he will also be doing things such as visiting community events and schools across the different patches of the constituency Mr Rankin said he will be meeting Heathrow next week to discuss ‘more equitable distribution of flight paths’ He added that he will work constructively with Heathrow across a range of issues but added he will vote against the third runway proposals if they re-emerge Mr Rankin said he also wants to understand the latest position regarding funding for Channel One of the River Thames Scheme Colnbrook and Old Windsor ‘don’t have the same flood protections that Maidenhead Windsor and Eton already enjoy’ and will be ‘fighting’ for that funding Another key priority for residents has been accessibility to GP surgeries and explained that he will be working on issues surrounding this The latest public notices in the Maidenhead Advertiser include details of the planned introduction of a 30mph speed limit on a stretch of the A308 Windsor Road Windsor and Maidenhead council has confirmed the introduction of a 30mph speed limit

junction with Upper Bray Road A 30mph limit will also be introduced in Upper Bray Road from its junction with A308 Windsor Road north-eastwards for a distance of 60 metres Royal Borough councillors approved lowering the speed limit from 40mph to 30mph in September last year following calls from residents and Bray Parish Council Thames Valley Police registered a formal objection to the move due

best of British cuisine believed to be the first heated indoor swimming pool in the UK when it was built as part of St Stanislaus College has been refurbished and had new equipment installed commented: “We’re absolutely thrilled with the results of the final refurbishments at De Vere Beaumont Estate The feedback from our guests has been extremely positive and the entire team is looking forward to continuing to build on our existing success.” De Vere Beaumont Estate unveiled the results of the first phase of a £12million refurbishment which included the creation of new luxury bedrooms and a top-to-toe refurbishment of much of the property This saw a refresh of the hotel’s Grade II 19th-century chapel with an ornate painted ceiling and stained-glass windows which was returned to its former glory The Chapel now provides a striking and unique backdrop to events to celebratory dinners for up to 200 guests Copyright © · Hospitality & Catering News Niki Blasina selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter The others seated nearby looked over; they could hear the peculiar sound coming from our table who had been snoozing peacefully on the floor “The meatball is sooo good,” groaned my partner mouth full while cutting into a round of venison offcuts that other establishments might have destined for the bin they were transformed into an orb of palate-punching bliss a notch on a belt of highlights during a stay at The Loch & The Tyne pub and rooms in the countryside of Old Windsor The venue is the latest venture and first outside of London from chef Adam Handling a longtime advocate for sustainable practices in the culinary world Each of his restaurants is underpinned by a commitment to minimising food waste and promoting cooking and eating sustainably — without sacrificing flavour The menu features potato scones topped with Beauvale blue cheese and crispy onions Adam Handling’s restaurants are ‘dedicated to sustainable cooking and eating — without sacrificing flavour refinement and enjoyment’ © Marco Kesseler (2)Beyond the M25 his ambitions are greater Handling’s desire for The Loch & The Tyne is for it to be the most sustainable pub in the UK (with zero compromises on luxury) — a goal ingrained in the whole offering from the food at the table to where guests lay their heads at night the proposition is bolted above the door: “Sustainable British Luxury” is what you’re here for Handling’s characterful country inn is located on a quiet road in Old Windsor around three miles south of the hubbub surrounding Windsor Castle its wooden interior and upcycled furniture are juxtaposed with some of the chef’s chosen modern art pieces Following a dismal year for the hospitality industry which included the closure of two of Handling’s restaurants helmed by chefs Jonathan McNeil and Steven Kerr who have both worked alongside the Scottish chef for more than a decade The former first met Handling in St Andrews (hence “the Loch”) Both regions are well represented in Berkshire: Scottish potato scones covered in a mild blue cheese delectable haggis scotch eggs and Newcastle Brown Ale sourdough the base for a host of different house-made butters The Loch & The Tyne’s food offering includes haggis scotch eggs  and cod and mussels with caviar sauce © Tim Green (2)The chefs have also peppered their offering with a few signature dishes from the rest of Handling’s repertoire which sit alongside their own creations that celebrate local ingredients Most produce is sourced nearby or grown in the pub’s gardens and orchard which are partially fuelled by composted waste from the kitchen — all efforts to minimise carbon footprints to tiptoes just a few miles from where it is eventually pan-roasted slathered with butter and served in the company of cauliflower and leek A fillet of British cod swims with mussels in caviar sauce punctuated by crunchy Old Windsor kohlrabi Chef Jonathan McNeil in The Loch & The Tyne’s kitchen © Marco KesselerPrior to the embarrassing moment at our dinner, restaurant manager (and visionary) Freddie Scholtes suggested that we accompany our mains with one more to share: mac and cheese, a dish that originated at Handling’s one-Michelin-star outpost, Frog This was not a matter of offsetting diminutive portion sizes — no serving here will leave you hungry — but one of greed built with pasta that is stacked uniformly filled and smothered with a Parmesan/Gruyère sauce that has been lightly aerated and topped with a truly generous amount of Parmesan (with shavings of black truffle if you fancy it) I deeply regretted wearing ultra high-waisted trousers though the gastro-sartorial discomfort was quieted by delight This dish encapsulates Handling’s culinary style: upscale and refined yet playful — and utterly delicious heart conditions and tight trews be damned Sleep easy: all of The Loch & The Tyne’s furniture is either upcycled or made with sustainable materials such as mango wood The covers for the rooms’ hot-water bottles were knitted by chef/owner Adam Handling’s mother © Bobbie Lee (2)Following scenes of biblical gluttony visitors staying the night will be glad for the short stumble upstairs to one of just two rooms both smart yet cosy and sprinkled with personal touches: a bottle of raspberry Negroni (made in house) a jar of freshly baked shortbread (the best I’ve ever eaten) and hot-water bottles with covers knitted by Handling’s mum One of The Loch & The Tyne’s guest bathrooms Water from sinks throughout the venue is recycled © Bobbie LeeWe had checked in well before supper (a pre-prandial ramble in nearby Windsor Great Park was spoiled by an intense spring shower) and so I made the most of the room’s deep freestanding bathtub — and the restaurant’s excellent wine list which is English-heavy with fine wine offered at lower margins Sipping a glass of cool Meursault in a hot bath sprinkled with pretty homemade lavender bath salts was a very welcome alternative indeed the loch sparkles in Old Windsor: the cooked breakfast is decidedly and deliciously Scottish with tattie scones and haggis (made in house in an effort to use whole lambs) we also ordered a fruit salad as a small form of atonement a luxury sustainable skincare brand from Margate Water from the sinks is recycled as toilet water to minimise waste Solar panels were installed to reduce electricity consumption and the beer garden offers solar-powered charging points and blankets made from recycled materials (and come summer some cheffy magic conjured on a giant egg-shaped kamado grill) But what’s also laudable is how easy it feels There is no eco posturing or pontification The philosophy of sustainable British luxury flows so seamlessly and subtly that I suspect some guests might not even notice the majority of the efforts made even though the concept is signposted above the entrance when the meatballs come out and the dining room fills with bemused faces red cheeks and the sounds of satisfied guests The Loch & The Tyne is about an 80-minute journey by public transport from Paddington or Waterloo or less than an hour by car from central London

Testing is set to occur through April to ensure lights, gates and bells are operating correctly. Engineers are testing the SMART rail line tracks, and cars will be heading into the new Windsor station this month, to ensure the rail line meets all safety checks before opening up to passengers as early as the end of May. Initial testing this week includes checking switching equipment before the rail line’s first train rolls into town for testing this upcoming Saturday. Should all systems check out during the month of testing, the rail line will begin running simulated service in May. It’s possible the rail line could be open to passengers by the end of that month. “We don’t have a set date yet, but our plan is to open up for passengers before our grand [opening] party on June 13,” Gonzalez said. In April, testing of train cars and switching equipment will occur on the rail line daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., between the Sonoma County Airport Station and new Windsor Station, at 9001 Windsor Road.
