Rambling, farther afield from Coventry

Hello, It was an honour for me to be invited to an after wedding reception this past weekend. The happy couple got married in Greece, (I told them to use cooking fat), anyway, I was allocated to table one. Oooooow. This was the UK celebration. I stayed the night. Very comfortable & obliging run country hotel. It was a charming venue. It used to be called the Oak. Twenty one miles from Coventry, almost directly south. I so enjoyed it except that I'm in a state of illness recovery, so I could well look forward to a few days there, if my family want a rest & have me out of the way anytime. I will eagerly oblige them.

Hello, There are very mixed reviews of the hotel on TripAdvisor, it's at the bottom end of costs, B&Bs in Coventry cost more. It's not Buckingham palace, or Harrods, but it was very comfortable for me.

Next adventure sorted. 22 more miles of the Thames Path from Oxford to Wallingford over 2 days. Train leaves platform 2 tomorrow morning at 8.26 and we return Friday around 2.30 pm.

Hello, Love it, I really do. Leamington to Banbury took Pam & I five days. Oxford was another three. Two brand new boats out of the boat yard. Pam studying the map, thinks we should have taken the road up & over the hill at the last junc. I'm checking the tyres. We don't want to be hadup for speeding if we are riding on sliks.

Lovely photo and, I'm sure, lots of memories. We went down the canal from Stratford about 4 years ago and it was one of the best and most memorable trips we have taken. We stopped at pubs and parks on the way to meet friends who were a short drive from the canal.
