Through the countryside.

           

A few things were bought from Cropredy Stores then we went around to browse the Antiques that occupy one of the small units nearby, very interesting it was too. Next day we paused at the services beyond the bridge before cruising on to see this single magnificent Oak tree in the middle of one of the fields. The countryside is beginning to turn a lovely luscious green in the warmth of the sun.

       

Down near Bourton Lock I spied some Periwinkle and Penny Flower. What a shame the lock side cottage here is beginning to crumble due to being neglected. Nearer to Banbury  Malc shouted out hello from his newly painted pale blue cottage which had taken him two weeks to do, luvly jubbly, must have been a job lot in the sale maybe!
