Good timing Steve, we bought the air tickets today (S$5300) so no quiting on you now!.

Our plans are so. We arrive on 7th October early morning and spend the nights of 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th in London, we are staying at the Somerset Service Apartments in Bayswater. Owned by Sinagpore company so we can get noodles airflown in for breakfast. We don't have any specific plans for london yet, will depend on the weather, but we have some friends to see.

On Monday 11th, we will be driving up to Great Milton and staying at Views Farm Barn through to to the 16th, when we may have to leave and go B&B for 2 days, or where we may stay on if they don't throw us out. Technically we should book Saturday to Saturday, but if no one wants our beds at the full rate, we can have the unit pro-rata for Saurday night, Sunday night and leave on Monday. We stay with our friends in Chessington on Monday night and fly out Tuesday night.

We have yet to book a car but will have something sexy, not a merc this time cos I can't drive them straight, perhaps a tractor would suit me better. Got the kids kitted out with proper boots, ones you can wear with socks, also rain coats, sweat shirts and all that stuff. Think they are in for a bit of a shock!. An before you all say OCtober not that cold, 29C is a cold snap here, any time of the year. Our Aircon is set at 24C and that's ccccccooolllllldddddd.

We are all recovering from coughs and the such like so will be looking forward to some clear cool air.

Definately be coming to Oxford, almost everyday unless can get "flied lice" in Great Milton.
