Lately: Car port, Oxford, and lunch at The Vaults, plus video!

Hello everyone,It's been quite the busy week round here. We've (when I say we, I mean Robert), have chopped down an apple tree.It was a hard decision to chop it down, mainly because it was such a hardy and healthy tree, but we planned to put a carport up against the garage and, as much as we loved the occasional apple crumble, the best thing for us was to remove the tree.So down it came. The wood will be used for fire wood plus a little of it will be handed out to friends for carving.And the best thing is that Robert won't have to pick up millions of apples from the ground.Speaking of the apples, I put out a great big bin full for anyone to help themselves and some people did.After several days of apple tree, clean up and building the foundations for our new carport, we took a trip into Oxford for the Thursday vintage and antique market.We were after a hat or two for our costumes for Saturday's Retro Festival.We were not very successful with the hats, so went to have lunch at one of our favourite cafes, The Vaults.The Vaults is a basement room under St Mary the Virgin church dating back to 1320. It served as the first ever library in Oxford belonging to the university of Oxford.Now our friend Will Pouget runs the space as the most amazing organic cafe.We ate our lunch on the patio and Will came for a lovely chat.Here is a little video of our day:https://youtu.be/m9n3ONuSrfEOn our way home we drove thru the neighbouring village of Appleton and I picked up enough beautiful dahlias from one of the roadside stands for four bouquets.The post and video from our Retro Festival day coming tomorrow. :D
