Nothing to say really, the router there chose not to, or was too busy to respond to your pings. Each star takes five seconds to appear as that's the standard timeout on the Linux implementation of ping (and pretty much every other one actually).

As stated elsewhere on this forum it's not really a major issue so long as the pings at the destination are ok, which they are.

Good chance that there's reduced capacity available or connection probs due to the fire in Hemel Hempstead taking out local capacity on the cable network in that area.
