Jeco Land
flickr When the two ladies are out everyone has to be very careful in Jeco land. It used to be that if one of the two ladies went missing, everything else stopped for the Great Tortoise Hunt . Now, they just wonder home in time for tea.
Trig Point
flickr Another summit & another trig point for the boys - this one was on top of Ivinghoe Beacon this afternoon.

Bridges by camera-phone
flickr
Finn & I had a walk along the canal to see the very nice people at the local computer shop to get some speakers for grandad's skype machine. The fact that KCS has air conditioning obviously had nothing to do with our decision to stop there before returning home...
...on the way back we passed some bridges over the canal and took some piccy's on a camera-phone. What fun we have.
Sportsday

Fantastic sports day at school last week - started early before it got too hot. Very different from when I was five, much more fun and loads more things to do.
Compare and contrast
flickr A delightful little boat house, downstream a little way from Wallingford, where Oxford University Boat Club are building a new boat house (at least I think it's OUBC, there do seem to be a lot of Oxford University rowing clubs ).
Waitrose on Thames
flickr
There's a nice new Waitrose in Wallingford. Just down stream from the town is the bridge over the river for the bypass, underneath is this graffiti.
Not sure if it was protest or advertising.
I wonder if
Richard Neale
can shed any light on the subject?
Booze Cruz

Okay, not really a booze cruz, but we did get to a rather nice hotel by the river for lunch...
flickr
...in a place called Streatley which is across the River from Goring.

More for family and friends on flickr .
More Elephants

Enjoy.
Chocking It
flickr
Grandad was over to help fit a new back door - thankfully he'd also borrowed Brendon's 'chock', making the whole plane-it-to-fit routine that much easier.
Thanks Les, and thank-you Brendon.
Coat Hooks
flickr One of the nice things of clearing the utility room (corridor?) to fit the new back door, was that we got to see the coat hooks - normally they're hidden under coats, hats and bags.
Morning Walk
flickr
Because of the rain, cycling to the nursery wasn't on, instead we went by buggy along the canal, past
Bushes Lock
.
flickr
On the way we passed 'Snowdrop' just passed Northchurch Lock.
Rain drops

It's been very hot, humid and dry... until yesterday, when it 'absolutely bucketed down'

Thank you aunty

Thanks to
aunty
, and the wonders of streaming video over wireless networks, the fact that the england game went to extra time didn't spoil the barby.
