Summer solstice

A very light and sunny cycle to the station this morning! If only 6.30am was always so bright and sunny!

Steam away day

So, I did work at steam on Thursday, but for the wrong job.
We had an away day and a tour of the museum.
And popcorn.

The finished floor!


Father's Day

Today we had planned to go to Avebury, but with the rain we thought an indoor activity might be better.
We went to the national waterways museum in Gloucester, then on a boat trip followed by a pick and mix tea at Andy's.
Definitely a very good day.





The best present

Marley doesn't bring us presents very often, but today she brought Traff a single blade of grass 😂
Such a demonstration of her love.

The floor

So, you may recall I started the floor process with John Lewis in February.
Long story short they were a disaster and I ended up finding a builder to do the work instead

I took a bit of a punt based on Facebook recommendations and we're 2 days into a 5 day floor fixing process.

This is where we've started from- I hope to be posting the improvement photos next week!

The house is so dusty that we've all been taking it in turns to stay at my parents- where Marley is holidaying to stop here being covered in dust and cement.

Newcastle

I spend most of last week in the north of England, working in Newcastle.
It was pretty, everyone was very friendly and we had food in the botanist!
It also poured with rain the whole time



Oxford

Yesterday my mum and I met my aunt in Oxford to go to the Ashmolean gin festival.
It's not so much a festival as a new gin launch, but drinking fancy cocktails on a museum is nice too. 😃

Before the drinking, we went for dim sum at paddy fields restaurant on Hythe bridge Street.
It was amazing.
So much food!

Everyone else in the restaurant was Chinese, so I have to assume that the food is pretty authentic.

We had giant rice cooker cake too!

Paddle boarding in Culham

We did the same route as last week, but back to front and this time with Kirstie & Phil. Then we had a BBQ
