Started the day with a short walk down to the high speed rail (HS2) construction site and back past Geoff’s church before some more board games then heading to Buckingham to visit Geoff’s sister-in-law Rosemary and her husband Gary.

We finished the day with dinner at The Old Thatched Inn (built in 1645), a video chat with Geoff’s sister Jane in the US and watching Geoff’s nephew Andrew’s short film that he wrote and directed in New Zealand – very clever fellow.
