Our friends Iain & Christine were scheduled to do a sponsored walk today round the churches of Oxford. It was a fund raising effort to raise money for the historic churches in Oxford. Geoff decided to join them and they managed to visit 13 churches in all...Geoff said there were at least 6 more. At each one they were welcomed, had their piece of paper signed, and partook of refreshments at several of them, including a very good cream tea at one of them............
He was not very active with the camera and only managed a few photos. Apart from Stride and Ride it was Open Day in Oxford with many places open to the public which were not normally. Geoff said Christchurch was exceedingly busy.
They all arrived back at Petroc just before 4 hoping for a nice rest but they had no sooner sat down than there was a knock on the roof. It was Giles with Finley and Oscar and also Parga (chocolate Labrador) so peace was shattered. It was a lovely surprise and I went with Giles and the boys and dogs for a walk in the woods to try and tire them all out.........
We then repaired to the Boat Inn for a drink and to feed the children tea. By the time they had all departed I was shattered........I find eating in a pub with small children quite nerve racking.............we always seem to leave such a mess behind!
We have decided to finish the weekend here and it looks as though we may be stuck on Monday also if the weather forecast is at all accurate....
