Sleaford

Saturday 20th Went for a walk with Diane before breakfast to the local shop to get the paper + a few toiletries, it was cloudy & cool. It wasn't one of the 2 days a week when the mobile postman comes so I couldn't buy stamps for my postcards!
We had an uneventful trip to Sleaford to visit Aunty Mary, except we missed the correct turn-off, the exit came up too fast! We tried to find an alternative route from the town centre but couldn't, so returned to the main road to return to the correct exit - so we were a little late for lunch.
It does seem strange that my aunt's now my own height, having lost 6" through severe osteoporosis. She has daily caregivers in to help her with a few tasks but manages most herself. It was fun looking at photos together before returning to Oxford.
Unfortunately the Silverstone Races were on, so we were detoured from Northhampton to Banbury. The roads closer to Oxford were poorly signed + my map wasn't detailed enough so we got a little lost, then it started to rain! It was a relief to suddenly come across Banbury Road at a street I’d walked down going to the doctor’s! Great! The car got taken back to the hirer's after tea.
