Tuesday evening and we headed for tea and coffee near Banbury at my cousins, Martyn and Anne. They had booked a table a little later at the Red Lion in Bloxham. A fine choice of pub \/ restaurant but we realised afterwards, we had been so engrossed in conversation, we hadn’t taken a single pictures. Groan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday we headed into Oxford. A two mile walk to the village of Milcombe where we caught the bus to Banbury and then the train to Oxford.<\/p>\n\n\n

We would arrive at the Old Bookbinders Ale house shortly after noon for a very long lunch with Paul and Andrea and also their friends John and Moyreen. It was great to catch up with old friends after so many abandoned Spanish winters and fantastic to make new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n

This pub is well away from the tourist honey traps and we spent much of the afternoon there, almost until the evening reservations commenced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mighty fine selection of real ales.<\/p>\n\n\n
