The Trip 2009 - UK24

Saturday 27th June.

We awoke to another overcast but warm morning.

Today we are going to have lunch with Richard, Beth and Grace.

From Droitwich we drove up the M5, across on the M42 and then down the M40 before turning off at Thame and heading for great Missenden, and thus Ballinger Common. I don't really like motorways as you don't see much of the countryside but you certainly get from A to B quickly. Our journey only took about 2 hours.

We had heard all about the house extension from Richard but obviously we hadn't seen it. Its looks very nice and balanced. All the building work is complete and now all Richard has to do is to finish off the painting.






The back of the house has been extended out wards and upwards, making full use of the roof space.



A nice alfresco lunch with Richard, Beth and Grace.



Not often I get my photo taken but Grace wanted to try out the camera.

Beth, Richard and Grace. It was lovely to see them and catch up with all their news. Grace has really grown up in the two years since we last saw her.

When we said our goodbyes we headed back to Droitwich across country and were home by 1900 and spent a couple of hours picking fruit with Louise and Andrew.
