dorchester on thames cafe

we went to this fantastic little cafe at Dorchester On Thames at the weekend. it’s quite small and you sit round a giant table with other visitors and help yourself to the fantastic display of home made cakes, whilst drinking tea.

it was my father-in-law’s birthday yesterday, so we went over to their house for cake. he’s known as ‘party’.

 kezia decided he wanted to remind party how old he was so wrote it on his card envelope.  i think this is a practice to be encouraged.

uneven steps – use the handrail

now, i’ve got a lot of respect for the sea, so you wouldn’t find me crossing to the island in the face of a fast moving tide.
and i especially think that using the hand bar instead of the uneven steps is asking for trouble.
