And breath! After yesterday's manic drive we spent today winding down. A walk and lunch out, a drive by of a house in Princes Risborough and a Chinese takeaway.
Our overnight stop, The Old Fisherman Pub alongside the River Thame at Shabbington, a village on the border with Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Looking back on our Yorkshire trip we compare life down south to that in the north. Everything suddenly now seems frantic and hectic. Gone is the laid back, friendly quiet life. And as for 'cash only', it's now, 'card only'. The pub stop at The Old Fisherman is very convenient for us, and tonight Margery is the only van here tucked in a nice little spot away from the noise of the pub.
And unusually, we do not need to buy a drink, or eat a meal in the pub to stay here. Just put ten pounds in the donation box for Macmillan Cancer Support. We're happy with that, it's nice to know our money is going to a good cause. We are also pleased to have discovered this pub stop, as it's only three miles away from Angela's son in Thame, and as we don't stay with him on school nights, usually booking into the Travelodge, we have no need now. Margery tonight is all cosy with the thermal cover on we bought off Facebook, it's made a big difference now the nights are a little cooler, a real game changer.
