See Grandads old bedroom (left of their old front door on the first floor- is that right Grandad?). The Merrows moved here when Great-Grandad was promoted from Wandsworth Prison. Cool eh? Its now a swanky hotel and restaurant 'Malmaison' and Clive's Mum & Dad tell us that you can go on a tour round the hotel and see the cells that are now plush rooms (and that the elevator is padded). I also read in a newspaper review that there is TV set into the prison wall that has a loop of Porridge episodes! We had lovely dinner last night with G & G at the Spread Eagle, Thame. They had a great time at the party even hitting the dance floor and saw lots of old friends from Chinnor & Thame. Today they are off to Kent to stay with June, where I understand they will be for Mothers Day (26th March) and Grandad's birthday.
