A bit of a catch up:
We had a meeting in Rugby Saturday before last (ie 16th) and opted to use the boast for a stopover as it is only half an hour to the meeting place from the marina. It was not convenient to drive up on the Friday as Christine has a Zoom meeting at 1 that day and we might not arrive in time (without a crack-of-dawn departure) So, we came up on Thursday.
This meant that we took it leisurely and called at Coleshill NT for lunch. (We called at their sister place a short distance away on our return home last time) Well worth it - others also think so as it was comfortably busy without being overwhelmed.
This left plenty of daylight to unload the car, set up the fire and fill the water tank before popping to the village shop for milk.
Friday we went into Banbury to food shop at Banbury. Whilst we were doing that we also topped up the car on a charge in the supermarket's car park.
The meeting on Saturday began at 10 but we have been a couple of time before so knew about where to park. The main Central park only charges a remarkable £2 for all day.
It was almost dark by the time the meeting finished but we made it out of town in the twilight. Not over keen these days in lengthy night time trips on unfamiliar territory, especially after January's experience.
Sunday we went to the church in Great Bourton. They normally only have about 15 for the morning service but today was also a baptism for a local baby and so there was a massive crowd (well, around 55 but it is quite a small church so it felt full!)
e came back home on the Monday - even with a laid back departure routine we were still home just after lunchtime.
