On Wednesday (tomorrow) we leave for a very short drive from Anita’s Camping and Touring park to Bladen Chains Caravan club site at Blenheim, Woodstock. Predicted to take an massive 45 minutes.

The weather over recent days has been rather mixed.

On Saturday, the morning was a washout with very heavy showers. In the afternoon we managed a walk along the Oxford Canal towards Banbury.

In the evening we enjoyed a BBQ back at the campsite which was a great pre-cursor for the Euro 2020 (1) fixture, England (4) v Ukraine(0).

Sunday we headed towards the National Trust property at Farnborough Hall, which, just our luck, was closed – it only opens for two half days each week. There was however a 5.5 mile circular walk from the Farnborough Hall National Trust overflow carpark taking in some stunning countryside and views across the Cotswolds. Half way around the heavens opened – fortunately at the time we were just finishing our picnic in Aston Dassett and managed to shelter under the porch of the local church.

Monday was a “work” day. We filled the Safefill bottle at a local industrial unit “The Nursery” (see mylpg.eu). It was service only and the guy wasn’t impressed attending to us for a top-up fill of 6.6 litres!

Some shopping at Costco Coventry and then a visit to the accessory shop at Broadlane Leisure, Kenilworth, where we managed to buy a couple of very sturdy folding chairs. Will take a picture sometime but they are very comfortable and look like they will last the test of time.

Tuesday was a visit to Upton Hall and gardens at Edge Hill (another National Trust property) – who’s idea was it to buy Moe a lifetime National Trust pass?
