Last week I was away in Banbury visiting friends, Gary and Caroline. We went to Baddesley Clinton, a National Trust property and where they had their wedding reception.
We had a pleasant few days after which I travelled to stay with Helene.
We went to a National Theatre Live showing of Best of Enemies. It enacts the events in the late 1960s when there was the first political debate on American TV between a Democrat and Republican.
It covered the assassination of the Kennedys with the backdrop of the war in Vietnam. The play was very well produced and thought provoking.
Helene and I worked on her garden and a few minor maintenance jobs around the house. It was a very busy week.
My round trip to Banbury and home via Northamptonshire totalled nearly 300 miles. Thankfully I could recharge overnight in Banbury but had to recharge in Wellingborough (Instavolt 50kwh) before heading home. I’m finding that if I have a 100 mile journey ahead of me I like to have a reserve of 40 or 50 miles just in case.
I did try recharging at Rushton Lakes at Pod Points (7kwh) but none of them seem to be working. I called customer services and they reset them but it didn’t get it working. It was a shame because I could have recharged the car while watching the NT Live performance for free.
