Edward@'TOADHALL'

 This morning I welcomed EDWARD and NICOLA to 'TOADHALL'.



 

Gave them a GUIDED TOUR + had a MOST "EXCELLENT" chat.



 

Thanks to SUPER Mum for rescuing lunch, from the misbehaving oven and chicken.

 

Prepared and ate lunch, DOUBLE thumbs up success.

 

After lunch drove to Witney Town,

"Get in the car Edward"

 

 Had a wee walk around town introducing Edward and Nicola to Oxfordshire's only Independent Record shop- the MOST "EXCELLENT" Rapture. 

This morning me and Ryan drove to Liz Teall's Pottery Studio @ Chipping Norton, where I had my first lesson on the Potters Wheel and I threw 3 bowls.

 This was my first time on a Potters Wheel and personally I think it went REALLY WELL!!

 

Me and my Bowls!!



Start of TOADS Sponsored walks.

Me and Bex drove to Stonesfield and went for a REALLY NICE walk at Stonesfield Common. Which is the start of my sponsored walk, in which I am walking 150 miles in 3 months to raise money for SILVER LINING charity.

 

This is me at the start of the walk with my Padometre round my neck.

 

 It is a LOVELY wooded walk with lots of twists and turns. Check out the Sepia picture above.

 Also the walk takes in the river.

 And some beautiful views.

 Bex picking some Black Berries.

Bex even found a young snail to kiss? 

The walk was part of the Oxfordshire Way.

Bought the tickets for the train up Snowdon,  and rather embarrassed the young lady behind the counter!! OOPS!

Then we went for our train journey up Snowdon mountain. 

LOVELY journey all the way up couldn't see much because of the FOG!!
