Yesterday it rained.....& rained.... & rained.....& then stopped , after we arrived home!
We walked to the railway station (how I hate the term "train station"!), went to Banbury, at great expense, & walked around, in the rain.
Actually, it was quite good fun.
We did a few "Granny china shops" & played "Bargain Hunt", without the selling - we decide what the bargains are worth - all the deals come up in profit!
We had "Happy Lunches" in MacDonalds & a potter in M&S.
T navigated & found the best, dry route back to the Railway station.
We just missed the 13.44pm train - we saw the train on the platform, when we were going into the railway station, so we rushed up and down the stairs! As soon as we got down the stairs and onto the platform..... the doors closed, we rushed up to the train & were about to press the door open button when the train puffed and left the platform.
We waited 15 minutes, and did train spotting until an anouncment boomed out of the speaker it said.... " The next train at platform 3 is the 14:04 service to London Marylebone, calling at Bicester North High Wickham and London Marylebone.

We rushed up the stairs then down the other stairs to platform 3! the train door open buttons went orange; a man pressed one and the doors opened!
We found two seats and sat in them. K sat on Granny's knee! 12 minutes later we were at Bicester North and walked over the new bidge and home!
We picked herbs from the garden & cooked tarragon chicken with minted new potatoes & fresh vegetables, for dinner.
T had a mozzarella, tomato & basil starter.
We watched some of the paralympics opening ceremony, then bed.
Home tonight!
