We’ve had a request for more action and less flowers, but we’re afraid there’s still more flowers than action….and here’s some rape to show you how pretty the fields look at the moment in England.
We did spend two hours on Monday evening watching our niece, Honor and the Tetbury Gymnastics club practising for competitions. We thought we would drop her off, stop for 10 minutes and then nip up to a nice pub, before going back to pick her up. But there was so much action going on in the gym, we ended up staying the whole 2 hours!
On the way to the Cotswolds we stopped off in Burford. It’s a lovely Cotswolds village with lots of wonderful old stone buildings. Not a lot of action there, but we had a nice pumpkin soup for lunch. This was followed up by a very satisfying roast chicken dinner, courtesy of my sister, Candice. I can highly recommend her paprika sprinkled, oven baked swede, sounds weird, but is really tasty!

Still no sign of the registration papers in today’s mail, so we’re still waiting. Hopefully they’ll arrive sometime in the next week and then we can head off. It’s only 100 days until the start of the London Olympics and we have to be back in England then, as we have tickets for the handball, beach volleyball and athletics. The time we have available to spend in France is getting shorter and shorter, but after the Olympics we can always go back there again. Although, if the weather looks like being nice here, we might just tour England and Scotland instead.
Rodney has informed me today that “we’ll be roughing it a bit” when we move in to the campervan. Dang! I was hoping to be doing it with a bit of style. However, looking at the state of our home today, I think Eileen has been hanging around too long waiting for us start our travels…….
