Still smiling.
Oxford has some really nice shops - just one worth a visit.
The Radcliff infirmary is now just two enormous piles of rubble, to be replaced by University buildings.
Well.
Comments from both Gord & Al, but, "fine words butter no parsnips" as we yokels say, so until something is done about interest rates I shall continue to hold my rather low opinion of the "dubious duo".
Yesterday morning G & I awoke in Bicester, unsurprisingly as that is where we went to bed, having babysat for B & E. After breakfast, some instruction from T on use of the remote control for the new TV &cuddles from KP & for Baby Anabel, we left for a quick visit to Bicester Village.
Many of the famous designer outlets there are wasted on us as we haven't heard of them.
We did visit Helly Hanson, Musto, Timberland & Carluccios.
We only parted with our pensions in HH, buying "Hi dri" underwear for both of us & cycling tops for G.
I understand that the underwear will "wick away" perspiration, keeping the wearer dry & sweet smelling.
I calculate that this will save us a small fortune in energy & detergent & shower gel as we shall not have to shower or change our clothes for weeks on end.
No doubt friends & family will point out if we have got this wrong!
We left the car at the Park & Ride & went into Oxford, where we pottered around randomly, enjoying the architecture, doing a little shopping & lunching on panini, carrot cake & coffee.
We liked it a lot & shall return when next in that direction.
We bought some sour dough bread, olives & cheese for supper at a delicatessen on the way to the bus stop.
Today I went to church at N Whitacre whilst G tidied the garden with a chain saw. We built a big bonfire & just got caught in a hail storm before we finished at about 3.00pm
We have pottered, tidied, cleaned, baked, etc until dinner.
I have been awake now since 6.00am, nearly 17 hours.
Not bad, eh?
The Saturday Times recommends M&S tempranillo - Palacio del Marques, la Mancha, Spain, down to £3.99. Worth a try.
Does anyone know a good vinyl repairer?
