Recovery and Preparation

After two weeks in Turkey, the laundry situation got out of hand so Monday was the day to handle it. We not only needed to recover from Turkey but we have to get ready to go to Ireland in a few days. Also, we did some shopping in Henley and had a mediocre lunch at the Argyll Pub.













On Tuesday, we finally hit the gym (after a two week layoff). OUCH! To reward ourselves, we drove to Turville, along the road where we were told the Bluebells would be carpeting the fields. Unfortunately, we seem to be too late and the color explosion is over. In looking for Turville, we only got lost once. Unfortunately, when doing a turnaround, the plastic rear bumper fell off the car. We got it into the back seat sticking out the window. We sure got some strange looks. Later that afternoon, we went to a local garage and the owner simply popped it back into place.

In Turville, we had a nice lunch at the Bull and Butcher. The road to get there is a 'single track', meaning one lane. It was a beautiful drive but a bit nerve wracking. After lunch we took a walk through Turville, a charming village with a lovely little church.
