This morning after Morning Prayer at church, I took Sheila to a little town 20 minutes away called Thame. That is pronounced like "name," viz., "tame," contrary to the Thames River, which is pronounced "tems." Who knows. It's been a market town forever and there is a weekly outdoor market I wanted her to see. It's especially a livestock market town - we'll have to go back and see that. It was a rainy day, but over here, if you let the rain get in your way, you never do anything. As the schoolmaster character in the Muppet Christmas Carol said, "It's the British way." What we found was a very lovely town with tons and tons of wonderful Edwardian (and older) architecture, lots of quaint shops, and places to eat. We also found some things we've been looking for, so that was really good. Of course, when we got home, the sun came out. We'll have to time our trip better next time.
Sheila has a dentist appointment this afternoon - oh boy!
