why did the chicken cross the road?

to go to the Farm shop, of course. I have been waiting to use that title for some time now, so will have to think up another dreadful one to fit a photo to.
Another beautiful walk, sunshine, birds chirping and several (well, two) kinds of butterfly to be seen. Also possibly the last puddle in Oxfordshire, the ground is so dry!
I was sorry to learn that a walk we had enjoyed as a permissive path has been closed as the government scheme which sponsored it has now ended. It led down to Ruddy Well, the village water source before the tap arrived thanks to Consuela, Duchess of Marlborough. It's a nice walk now, but must have been pretty awful hauling water all that way.
