Well we did make it into Oxford on Friday and after lunch we set off for the launderette.  Whilst there we got talking to a Danish school teacher, here with students.  We ended up meeting him in the pub later, along with his colleague.  The children were all with their host families so they had plenty of free time!  I think they learnt more about narrow boating than we did about Denmark!  We did manage a look around Oxford before leaving there on Saturday.  Since then we have been moving along towards Lechlade.  Not really any places to visit en route.  We arrived here at Lechlade at lunch time today.  So it has taken us about 3 days to travel the 30 miles from Oxford to here!  We have had some rain so have had a couple of late starts so have avoided getting wet!  Paul did light the fire yesterday and it is still in.  So sat here in a t-shirt now!  We have a busy few days coming up.  Tomorrow Tanya is coming to visit.  I used to work with her at Stonehouse, can’t remember how many years ago and it’s quite a few since we last saw her and her family.  They live at Fairford, so we are fairly close now.  Then we get a hire car to visit friends Colin and Joan who we met on the cruise in January.  Colin is 80 on Thursday, so we are paying them a visit.  I am sure Colin won’t mind reading his age in print!!  Then on Friday we are off to Medmenham to visit Lorraine, Paul and the grandchildren for the weekend.  So off to pack now....
