It snowed again today and mum phoned me first thing (very early...) worried about what we were going to do at work. She needn't have worried because by 10am, the snow had stopped and it really didn't cause any inconvenience at all.
We went ahead with our trip to Oxford to find out where Keith has to go tomorrow. The hospital was very quiet and we found our way easily to the Heart Centre so that should avoid any panic tomorrow morning. We'd planned on having lunch at The Crewe Arms in Hinton-in-the-Hedges but due to our early start, we would have arrived when the pub was still closed, so we took a detour through Oxford (no wonder the Americans love it there) and then Woodstock which I have earmarked for another day. On the way back to the A43 we drove through Upper Heyford which has some very good memories for me as my parents were friends with a family who were stationed there at the American Air Base. Sadly, the place had been abandoned long ago but I could remember going there and drinking 7Up when you couldn't get it here and having a great time on the base.
We had lunch at The Crew Arms and very good it was too! Three of us had the roast of the day, while Sophie had chicken breast in a mushroom and stilton sauce. We couldn't resist the desserts (well, three of us couldn't!) and everything was homemade especially the Yorkshire puddings which rivalled Keith's!! And that's saying something!!
A lazy afternoon followed and I managed to watch two films back to back, much to the annoyance of the children!!
