Spent the weekend doing a touring drive around the Cherwell valley in the camper van. Stayed on 2 lovely sites, neither of them with the caravan club. Banbury was lovely, lots of boats coming and going, and a high street of independant shops to wander round. Diddington was very old fashioned and quaint, stopped to watch a wedding coming out of the church. Large antique shop belonging to the woman off "the real deal" she had a mirror the same as Charlotte's ( £1.95 from a charity shop in Newcastle ) she wanted £95 for it. Hope Ch's is wrapped up somewhere nicely!
Sunday- we went to Woodstock, it was bright and warm, and we enjoyed wandering around the beautiful little town. Was surprised to see that Blenheim palace was right in the town, I expected it to be out on its own, certainly not surrounded by neighbours. Didn't go in, saved it for a whole day, and the ticket can be gift aided to use for a whole year. Visited, briefly, a shabby car boot sale and then onto the duck decoy. A National Trust property set in a lovely forest walk through the trees, right up Joe's street.
Fancied a Thai for supper so back to Banbury-closed or silly prices. Warwick (the favourite) closed on Sunday, couldn't find anywhere we fancied, ended up in Ladypool at a new place, eat as much as you can which wasn't very much at all. Even Darsh only managed seconds, it was mega greasy, not very fresh, and very noisy- kids running and screaming-an Indian wedding- say no more.
Home to a very dry garden indeed, but at least it has rained today for the first time in a long while.

Photos of the duck decoy lake, just can't get them to go in the right place - with the relevant writing round them, I guess I can always move them at a later date!
