we had a nice few days relaxing in england. one day we took a long walk to arrive at the pub called “the perch and the pike”. it’s a nice classic pub. there are fewer and fewer of them around. for a while, all the pubs were turning into restaurants with high priced menus. don’t know if this trend has changed since the economy problems. i love the old fashioned pubs with good simple food and reasonable prices. we had fish and chips. delicious. the next day we went to oxford to toodle around. we went to the covered market and found a place that made different lunch pies.
all the while, we are letting maynard get used to the grandparents. we were going off and coming back. the last day we went to see p’s sister. when we came back, p and i walked to the local pub for a beer. very nice. p’s mom made lamb curry and it was really good. i don’t normally like curry, but this one was delicious, a nice combination of gentle flavors. it was sweet. she said the secret was apples.
sunday we flew back to paris, leaving maynard. i think he is thrilled to be out of the city apartment and back into the country. he will stay with them for the summer.
