That's aj's car - she left for home yesterday afternoon & reached the M42 before the radiator sprang a terminal leak & warning lights flashed.
she made it back to Kingsbury Garage, where I picked her up at tea time.
Consequently, we are both in Bicester, having had a good day in Oxford with T & KP - the last day of their school holiday.
We travelled on the upper deck of a double decker bus, visited the Ashmolean, had a McD Happy Meal (of course) & pottered around the back streets, looking at colleges & beautiful buildings, before the return journey.
We are all pretty tired as it has been a warm, close day & we've walked a fair distance.
The birthday lunch on Sunday went well - the greandchildren all played together brilliantly after being car parking attendants in the field, all wearing hi vis jackets.
It was great to see all of the "sons" & partners/wives together - only three of the eight offspring absent.
Not bad considering the pressure on time in the summer months.
We had a final evening with W, Mk & family before they left for the airport after lunch on Monday.
Life will return to what is now "normal", by Thursday - at least the lawns haven't grown, in fact they look pretty good. much to the surprise of a few friends.
Three services to prepare for Sunday & cakes to make.
