Home again

Another exciting day with the TKP team!
It looked like another wet day in the offing so we opted for a "homestay".
Cleaner on her hols so we had a "Kate Day" - T & KP tidied & vacuumed their rooms, & cleaned the windows, to add an extra dimension whilst the dyson was in use by the competition, with great gusto & satisfaction.
We had a drink & biscuit mid-morning - the accepted perk of all those doing housework, planned the rest of the day, then had a pic-nic lunch in the lounge.(Dyson at hand for the "apres pic-nic")
We piled into B's car, planning to collect a parcel from the PO depot, then across Bicester to visit old haunts.
Plan failed when I couldn't get the handbrake off, despite it being pretty obvious, looking in the handbook, having instructions in stereo from the back seat & phoning B.
Bother.
Change of plan ; we walked to the old haunts, including the playground, twice, on outward & inward journeys, shopped & walked home.
T&KP chose their tea - sausage rolls from the "best baker in Bicester" - did include lots of tiny carrots & cucumber.
Cooked the dinner (mint in the potatoes) G to Marsh Gibbon (MG) for a back treatment, then home to bed.
Slept well!
Today may be an anti-climax, but we are going to Solihull, so M&S may do the trick!
