The view from the 4th floor Oasis meeting room
Paul's TouchType Birthday and the Old Chap Visits, London and Brome, Suffolk - 9th October 2011
It's Paul's birthday in the fourth-floor meeting room at TouchType's office in the Oasis Centre on Kennington Road in North Lambeth, and a very tasty custom cake is provided. Then, it's time to drop off the apple harvest over at Trevor of Greenwood's Apples for pressing and bottling. After that, Nosher makes a model Mustang to hang in Fred's room - the tail number and squadron ident are wrong, but it's otherwise close to the paint job of Janie, Fred's favourite P-51D. Then Grandad comes over for a few days, and finally there's a bit more walnut picking.
