More Stride than ride .....

a group of Villagers took part in the annual Historic Churches Trust sponsored Ride and Stride again this year ....

(and no, we are not Moonrakers!!!)

Rather than ride around the county on our bikes as usual, we decided to walk the streets of Oxford!  We caught the Number 66 bus - even sitting on the top deck in the back seats on the way there - and managed to visit 14 churches.  We also walked up the tower at Mary Mags ...

and popped in to some of the Colleges, including the Great Hall at Christ Church ...

Although we felt a little damp at times, at least it didn't rain.  So a lovely day was had by all.  If you wish to add to our sponsorship please give your contribution to Dennis Offer.

What a lovely day for a BBQ ...

A fantastic time was had by all!  Big thank you to Pinewood School for letting the event take place in the school grounds, to the Village Hall Committee for organising everything and to Len Francis for the photographs!

Another new baby girl ...

Many congratulations to Rebecca and Luke on the birth of baby Nyree Taya who arrived on 17th June!  No doubt Sylas and Esme are very excited having a new baby sister!  And congratulations also to the grandparents - Janet and Stan Jones!
