She Doesn't Look Convinced!

Deb and Sam and kids accompanied us to collect Paul from his course in Oxford. They all went punting while Mike and I went to visit an old (as in longstanding) friend in a nearby village. We then met up for lunch at a tapas place. Paul was feeling really rough, so he went back to the car with Mike, while the rest of us had a wander round the Natural History Museum, an amazing place for kids (or anyone, really), especially one as passionate as Zion is about dinosaurs.

Oh, and on the way down the M40, we saw not one, not two, but five parachutists jumping out of a plane, thankfully they all opened.

Gratefuls:
- seeing Anthony again, he was our accountant and I lived at his house for a while when I was studying in Oxford
- safety on the roads, I never take it for granted
- Zion and Allegra electing to have a sleepover at ours, and reading them loads of the books our kids loved, lugged back from Brazil, and uncovered in the clear-out
