A couple of weekends ago the Abingdon Air and Country Show took place. There must have been a good few thousand visitors there, with many stands selling home made marmalade, chutney, cider, as well as games to play. Of course, the main attraction was in the air. Paratroopers, biplanes, trainers and gliders were all present, but the thing everybody wanted to see was of course the Vulcan. This is the last flying one around, yet is still able to impress. It's silence and near invisibility whilst coming towards you turns into a rip-roaring ringing of your ears as it speeds away overhead. Definitely something to be experienced !
The weekend after it was time for Hannah and Diego to celebrate before they tie the knot. So appropriately there was a Han-do for the girls and a stag-do for the boys (+Nina). Great fun was had by all involved, with few people waking up early the next morning...
This weekend saw a surprise visit from Will who was up in Oxford on Saturday. A brief visit to the Turf Tavern was duly rewarded with thirst-quenching beverages. Last time this place was visited was at new year with Luigi, Roberto and Ali. Unfortunately it was closed then. I can confirm that it is as good as it looked though :)
Well, the weather isn't quite sure what it's doing, with very gusty winds shooting the clouds across the skies. When the sun becomes unhidden though the temperature goes up dramatically. Let's hope the icelandic volcano eruption doesn't combine with these winds though - could become unpredictable.
So, keep your hat on...
