It was our annual Church “Walking Treasure Hunt” yesterday, following instructions to explore a local village while answering questions, some cryptic, some observational, as well as identifying the locations of a couple of dozen photographs. This year the treasure hunt took place in Rothely, North Leicestershire. For the second year running we paired up with Linda and Keith, friends from church, and for the second year running we won comfortably. We obviously have the perfect range of approaching questions from various angles. To get a flavour, we were directed through a churchyard, with the question “Did Bill supply these, and in whose memory?” Lots of gravestones and memorials, and even the wrought iron gates were in memory of well-loved parishioner, but none had a William or Bill connection. It was while walking around the outside of the church, looking for anything helpful written on the building, that I suddenly realised the Microsoft connection, and returned to the gates to note down the details of the well-loved parishioner.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
