Congratulations to Dan and Jenny who were married on Saturday in Thame. We popped along in the evening – just in time for Martin to wake up – and it was amazing how many people we knew – like a great big CSP get together but in Thame!! Dan and Jenny both looked absolutely fabulous…

Honda Jazz MPG
I broke my record for average MPG and total miles covered in my 1.4 Honda Jazz – over 325 miles and an average of just under 50mpg. A long run to Milton Keynes and warmer weather must have helped it!! read more

Half Term Week
