I started off the day with a nice coffee and danish from Bean & Cole – very nice indeed!

Sarah’s back today, after a train journey to forget. The first two trains from Oxford to Birmingham both got cancelled, leaving the third train absolutely rammed with people. From Birmingham to Crewe went ok, but then the Crewe to Chester train was running 20 minutes late – so all in all not the best journey! Still, at least she didn’t surprise anyone in the loo this time!

Barry and Rosemary left us a mysterious envelope to open on July 31st.

We made the most of the contents today by going out for some ice cream; we’ll save the rest for a nice dinner out later.

The shop also had quite an impressive selection of cakes, but we just went right in with the sundaes!

Sarah was feeling rather tired after all the travelling and her drips, so had a little snooze to recover, and I prepped a loaf of bread ready to go in the oven in the morning. I accidentally forgot to use the healthy stuff, so we’ve got a 100% white loaf which will be a bit of a treat!

Sarah’s feeling much better after a little rest. We can just about make out the bingo announcements from across the roads if we listen carefully; Sarah’s been showing me how it works. I don’t think I’ve ever set foot in a bingo hall, certainly not as an adult anyway.
