Another very warm day, is tomorrow really going to be wet?
Called in on Checkendon Church this morning as Tan and family wished to lay their own card and flowers on Jeans grave. Flowers picked from the garden which was Jeans wish.
From here drove the short distance to Nuffield Place which was the home of Lord and Lady Nuffield of the Cowley Motor Works fame.
Very modest house, albeit large but with a wonderful garden and woodland walks. Was keen to see Lord Nuffields workshop which I read had not been touched since the day he died.
How astonished was I to find the workshop was in fact built into his wardrobe. Amazing.
On way home called into the Whitehart in Nettlebed for a spot of lunch.
On arriving home it appeared we were all pretty tired so snoozed for a couple of hours before getting ready for a night at the New Inn.
What a day, good start to the holiday.
