We did go away...

...on the Arriva 280 out of Oxford...stopped for an impromptu picnic at Thame and then carried on to Aylesbury, stopping at Wheatley on the way back. It was last Saturday and we had a fantastic time.

Thame's a lovely little town with lots of quaint mom-and-pop shops that are ever so exclusive and pricey. I was thinking about how they manage to sustain their business at those prices, but it's a town that looks like it has a lot of old money. Oxford, while being such an old historical city has very few exclusive small shops and an abundance of chain high-street stores - you see one, you've seen them all. Oxford's large floating student population could have to do with it.

So, yes, we did go away and come back and spend the rest of the weekend enjoying a huge, lazy Easter lunch, refreshing the garden (merci beaucoup R) and playing a lot of Grand Theft Auto. This is the life.
