The Lure Of Tescaw...

We did it again! Despite my essential feelings against the power of tescaw..we went there this morning. Why? simply because they tempted us with a £4 off £40 bill coupon which was a good deal. So we gave in, and went there. Pain in the neck actually because it isn't a store we are familiar with so we spent a lot of unnecessary time going round just looking for things. Couldn't find the Avocados so had to ask, then couldn't find the courgettes etc., etc., But, we got there in the end. Vin also had a five pound card from there as well, so we got quite a lot of money off in the end, and home in plenty of time for a nice cheap cup of coffee.
We watched an old Miss marple which we recorded at Christmas last night..simply because we couldn't find anything interesting to watch. We recognised some of the locations, as being around mapledurham, and the village, and watermill. We stayed in a beautiful cottage there on their estate quite a number of years ago when jane was very small about four I think. The cottage we stayed in was called "Step Cottage" and had apparently been used in a number of films and television programmes. it was the "Spy Lady's Cottage" in The eagle Has Landed, so we had to buy the video of that afterwards. We needn't have bothered since it has been on television countless times since. The village,,the big hall/Manor House has been in Midsommer murders a number of times too. It must be a favourite location.
This is Step Cottage..which can be rented for around £600 a week now.

It is quite near reading and with good access to London, so was a good centre to stay. The village is extremely unspoilt though so I suppose that is why it is popular for location work.
Vin is quite bereft now the skip has gone..nothing to watch at the frontanymore. it really was a source of enjoyment on the whole, especially with the bike that kept appearing and disappearing. i wonder who has that now?
He saw our neighbour this morning and suggested that she put a card in the shop window about the cat, she said that was a god idea so he offered to do that. So there is now a card in the window for the poor little thing. it really wants to be around this area since it has always been round here, and it seems to love this area. It was in our back garden last night with our two and they weren't having any trouble, but we couldn't have another one, two is fine in our house. I do feel so sorry for it though, hope someone will take her in.

Tonight we are having:
Crispy Quorn Fillet
Chips 200grms
Mushy peas for Vin and green beans for moi.
