Plan B is just as fun...

What with a cancelled Christmas and two cancelled Portugal trips, it had been 18 months since we had seen the Bucks Rookes. So with the orignial holiday postponed till 2022, the McRookes travelled to High Wycombe for stop one on our summer holiday Plan B. 

And what a lovely time we had! There was a plethora of National Trust properties explored (Hughendon, West Wycombe, Cliveden, Waddesdon), a wonderful day boating on the Thames, walks in Marlowe and Downley Woods, great food and of course great company! And it was that latter part that really made it for us. It was so lovely catching up with all the Bucks Rookes face to face; we even dragged Rooke Senior down for the day, and managed to catch up with one of my cousins and our good friend Sarah. A lot of chat and laughter all the way! Thank you so much to the Bucks Rookes for hosting us and letting us stay in your home. And particular thanks to Will for letting us intrude on his space and putting up with a second shadow in the form of Niomi for a few days!!

Oh and there was also the small matter of a trip to HPW. But I’ll need to save that for a post all of its own 😁.

All aboard!!
