Thame - Jill and Len

On our way to Thame from Huddersfield we had the opportunity to encounter some traffic congestion, you beauty. It took us about three hours to get through this, so a three hour trip took us six hours.
We made a stop at a rest area (that are called Welcome Breaks over here) so the kids could throw the ball around, you can see the traffic in the background
This is the back garden of the place at Emmington / Thame we are staying for the bulk of our time in Thame. This lawn is massive in English terms and Len also has a massive vegetable garden to the right of this photo and an orchard over the back hedge. Here's Len throwing the ball around with the boys, I think this is the first time Len has played with a rugby ball, wha ha ha....... another convert.
Here's Jill and Len, their house is the brown one in the background, I think they call this semi-detracted because it only shares one wall with another house. Our window is the one on the second floor. It's great staying with Jill and Len, it's nice and quiet (when the kids are asleep) and Jill and Len look after us as though we're royalty.
