Been Busy I

A Beautiful building in Oxford

So, lots has been going on. Lets see, we had Jodi's birthday party. Cake and all that goodness. Found out the difference between a cupcake and a fairy cake. Traveled off into the land of Oxford and found out that there isn't exactly a campus but a long line of buildings that stretch all over the town. Beautiful old buildings of wonder and history. 

Then there was the trip into London. ADRA had a concert to raise money for their many activities. Some of which I'm very interested in. Many talented singers were there, the drums could be felt right in your chest which people keep telling me is normal. Further testing is needed... The part of London that we went to was mostly Arabic and so busy with wonderful sounds and smells. 

I saw a blue phone box and it was not indeed a tardis but I have not given up hope. Mostly all I've seen is red phone boxes. The search goes on. 

After the glorious trip to London, a night to remember indeed, we went out to the allotment and began playing in the dirt. This is what it must have looked like anyway. In all honesty we got a lot done for the three of us and two kids rummaging around not knowing exactly what we were doing. In the end, three older gentlemen came out and talked very kindly to us about our options and how we could tackle this gardening space with the least amount of hassle. 

One of these gentlemen were nice enough to give us a crap ton of plums and baking apples! Promises of plum apple crumbles have been made repeatedly, none have come into being. But, being the amazing people that Jodi and Jonathan are, they did make jam from the plums and it is very tasty. It taste like peach jam though. Still super good. 

Next I shall talk about the second trip to London.
