<p>On Thursday I collected Helene from her home and we headed for Banbury. After a delightful lunch in the Bell Plantation in Towcester we made our way to the Premier Inn Banbury. We were collected by Gary &amp; Caroline and spent the afternoon catching up before heading for Voujon Indian restaurant in the centre of town. It was a great evening and we ate far too much.</p>

<p>A pleasant drive to Stow on the Wold and afternoon tea in Huffkin's then headed to the barn where the others were waiting.</p>

<p>As always our first evening meal was fish and chips - Greedy's in Stow on the Wold was perfect.</p>

<p>Stow on the Wold is famous for it's cutsie shops and cafés and Huffkins was recommended so we had to give it a try. Helene had a scone while had carrot cake (my first of the holiday).</p>
