Home again for a cold evening.
Yesterday I played a couple of sets of tennis - freezing hands blinding sun, but really good -then we ate scrambled eggs & left for an afternoon out, ending up in Chipping Norton for an early meal before seeing Jo Brand at The Little Theatre in Chippy.
We had an excellent day, pottering in Alcester, Moreton in Marsh & then Chippy, before having an excellent Indian meal (Mon eve - 3 courses with naan or rice, coffee or ice cream, £9.95) at the far end of the town, before walking back to the theatre.
The show was v good - they try out new material at these small venues, apparently (about 200)
We went back to B & E's for the night, so had the delight of taking T & KP to school - never at a loss for a word or two!
We pottered around Bicester in the morning; bought some great books in Sobell House shop, did Bicester village, briefly.
The latter doesn't really cater for rural 50 somethings on a budget, but the Pret a Manger is an oasis of calm in which to watch weirdly dressed orientals resting, amongst their designer bags alongside local "yummy mummies" amongst their toddlers.
We lunched lightly at The Red Lion in Stratton Audley then on to Marsh Gibbon to watch O & the twins school Christmas production, in the parish church - another delight.
We collected RPO & drove home, separately.
I stopped for fuel & small silver Xmas trees at JS.
G stopped to shop in Solihull........
I suspect that the chickens had been in all day - G put a spotlight on the run to entice them & fed & watered them - too cold to risk a night with empty tummies!
A friend popped in for a chat for a couple of hours before dinner & then zzzzzzzzz
