I was hoping to post Oxford related enteries whilst we where away but, technology being what it is in the dreamy wilds of Oxfordshire, well actually I couldn't hack in to the wireless network and was not going to pay to use a 'modem' connection.
Any way:
We stayed at the Peartree Oxford Travel Lodge
We ate at the Peartree Oxford Little Chef - breakfast & evening meal
We used the Peartree Roundabout P & R in to Oxford - which was 400 yards from where we were staying!
We visted when there was a Continental Market in town and there was the Folk Festival at which there where various visiting troops of Morris and Molly Dancers from all over the country (most of them seemed to be staying at our Hotel!)
We did one of those Open Top Bus City Tours - where you can get on and off the bus at various points round the city.
Lindsay & Sian did a tour of the colleges.
We visited the village named after our very dear friend - Woodstock - in fact our hotel was on the Woodstock Road. - Sorry no pics of Road Signs saying Woodstock Road - However
We went to Wolvercote and had a drink in the Trout Inn which features in the episode of Morse (Series 2 - The Wolvercote Tongue).
We also made a trip to to the Wolvercote Municipal Cemetary to pay homage to one of my great heroes - the Hobbit Meister himself, J.R.R. Tolkien.
On our way home we stopped at Bletchley Park - the code breaking centre that did so much during the second world war. Where Enigma was broken giving us an edge over the Germans (albeit at a cost). The great thing with Bletchley is your entry fee in fact buys you a season ticket that lasts a year!
Re Visit this oost shortly and I will have some pics up here for you as well!
