Our Visit to Witney – Part 1

Tom the Scientist and the Lovely Laura have finally moved into their new house in Witney,  No. 30, which is all very romantic and exciting! And, we decided it would have look very rude if we weren’t the first visitors over their threshold to check out their guestroom see how they had settled in.

I also offered to help plumb in their new cooker (with a bit of Andy’s help) – after all, I mused, how difficult could joining up a couple of pipes to the gas supply be?

I thought it best to send Darrell and Nigel into town for a coffee, a look round the 99p Shop and to gather some tourist information for our anticipated many future weekend stays, enabling Andy and I to work in peace and concentrate on the task in hand.

However, I am afraid I had a crisis of confidence and the responsibility of what I had promised weighed heavy upon my shoulders….

And in the end Andy said that if I just wanted to hand him his tools when he asked for them that was fine by him ….. no one but be any the wiser.

My relief was tangible ……. Andy had realised my limitations and so for the time being at least, I will remain a stranger to hissing gas and blow torches!!

But, I was a diligent assistant to Andy, once he had explained what his various utensils were called and what they were used for.

And Darrell and Nigel were suitably impressed by our work upon their return!!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
