For my birthday this year we took a few days out in Oxford.
The accommodation was a converted prison, and although we were not in the old
cells our lovely room had large picture windows that looked out across the exercise
yard at the old wing.
We walked around the historic streets visiting many of the academic
and non-academic sights in the chilly but bright February sunshine. We had
lunch at the Eagle and Child (a pub once frequented by CS Lewis and Tolkien),
then we went onto the Thirsty Meeples game shop for a couple of games and a few
cocktails.
That evening we wandered over to the Jericho Tavern to see a
gig. The main act was Sarpa Salpa, but them and one of their support acts, The White Lakes, were too headbanger for us. The opening act, Sara, was fabulous.
The following day we meandered back stopping at the lovely
National Trust property Greys Court House, and then onto Henley for a stroll
along the Thames and a pub lunch.
