Fringford meeting

15 Jan 2012: Fringford in Oxfordshire is better known as Candleford in the Larkrise to Candleford books and TV series, although I confess to never having watched it, and didn't know this when we booked a lunch at the Butchers Arms in Fringford. It is halfway between Nottingham and Southampton. We didn't meet Henry and Carol over Xmas due to distance and things, so this was a late Xmas dinner, hence the red hat.
  I would recommend it in future, a fine carvery meal, with nice veggies too, easy to find, ample parking and a good atmosphere.
  There was the most unbelievable percentage of houses in Fringford with solar photovoltaic panels, either up or currently being put up (scaffolding still up). Apparently, a housing association owns several of the houses, so this is a combined effort - although they seem to have missed the December 2011 deadline for the higher tariff.
