Oxeye daisies in the Dr Edward Bach centre garden

This was another summer day trip to the Bach Centre, this time with a group of seven WEA attendees and assorted hangers-on. I chose to travel in the mad car. WE had some interesting driving and even more fun finding the Bach Centre itself. The village is actually two villages....

We made ourselves at home and watched an educational DVD about Dr Bach, then headed off to the other part of the village for a pub lunch in ye olde thatched pub. The village looks perfect, quaint, unspoiled and high-summery. Midsomer Murders...

After a huge lunch in my case, we returned to the centre and did some more exploring of the house/museum, and bought a few bits and bobs (remedies for my classmates, another wall chart for yours truly). Once we'd perused the wild garden, where many of the remedy plants are grown, we spent rather a lot of time in the graveyard, looking for Dr Bach's humble grave. It was unkempt, so we found a scented rose and some columbine from elsewhere in the cemetery, and some feathers,  to adorn it. 

Then we drove back, somewhat later than the people in the more organised car party. They stopped at Buscot Park for tea, but we didn't have time, so had an ice cream in Farringdon instead. Opening the car door in this town, one is quite likely to be mown down by a double decker bus, so this was a hazardous sport  all of its own. 

The SatNav lady gave me the giggles. She always does. If I had one, I'd have to have a hammer too. After a while. I have an urge to get violent with her. 

Back home just before seven, all agreed that we'd had another Grand Day Out. This was my third visit to the Bach Centre in eight years. I shall return.
