WEATHER: Beautiful. Sunny. Highs in 70s
Today is a bank holiday. I don't think it is any special celebration, just an end-of-the-summer 3-day weekend. Being a bank holiday, bus service was quite limited again, so we stayed in Whitchurch.
We walked around the village.
I assume Whitchurch got its name from its whitish church?
I just can't get enough of the thatched roof houses. 
Many of the houses are really old...
This one, called The Old Courthouse, has an interesting door.
We had lunch in the village pub, the White Swan.
The people are very friendly. the staff remembered us from our first visit.
After lunch, we walked around town some more. This collection of buildings, The Firs, was called Churchill's "Toy Shop" during the war as inventors worked here trying to create gadgets to win the war.
On the dogs' afternoon walk in the park, I met a garrulous 8-year-old boy. He talked non-stop in a darling little-boy English accent, as he walked the dogs with me.
DINNER: Frittata.
