Saturday 16 August Oake

After breakfast, David mowed the grass, Jon did weeding and other garden work, Kath went shopping, and I looked after the washing and Daniel. As David moved our car out of the front yard so that he could continue the mowing, he didn't notice the gate post still standing where the end of the hedge used to be, and made a big scratch in Mr Avis' car.
It started raining by about 11:00am, so then I was in charge of the drier. We did nothing much else, played farms with Matt, put lots of shopping away, put lots of washing away, and Kath and Jon planned for tomorrow.
Nothing happened about new accomodation for us, so we will be in the loungeroom again tonight.



Friday 15 August Abergavenny to Oake

We helped the Flinds pack up, and we were all on our way by about 9:45am. We headed straight for the M5 south of Bristol, to go and meet a genealogist who contacted me the day before we left home. Peter is connected to Nan's mother's family, and I thought we may be of mutual benefit to each other. We reached his home in Nailsea about 11:00, and left just after 15:00, loaded with books, photos and miscellaneous papers.
We then drove through Cheddar Gorge

to Wells to get our cathedral souvenir,

past Glastonbury,

and reached Kath's house at about 18:15, only about 30mins after them. So it was late tea, junk everywhere, and we slept on the sofa-bed in the loungeroom. There are tentative arrangements to borrow a campervan or a caravan, but nothing definite yet.
