Oxford

I gave Haley the tour of Oxford, hitting all the highlights as to what we would see in the coming days. Being Christmas, everything was closed but the sun was out and the downtown was beautiful. Dad snuggled in bed back at Jecicho not feeling so well. Unfortunately this Christmas will be the one to remember when we would tour one day and sleep the next to recover. Then feel almost good enough and go out the next day just to get sick again. And like all good parents shared it with Haley. 

Oxford is just amazing with old architecture from all ages around every corner. 

Bridge of Sighs, Oxford

Now what they do not tell you that right next to the bridge on the left is the entrance to the oldest tavern in Oxford, The Turf. You enter in a narrow, 3 ft wide dark alley and snake around and end up in the middle of many buildings that is the Turf, some of it is out doors and some indoors. Later that week we enjoyed dinner there. 

Cheers! 

I ordered a Caesar salad and got a sunny side up egg in the middle of it. 

Go figure!  I got one in Paris when I ordered a Corque Monsieur which I thought was a ceasar salad. Delicious whatever they call it. 

We toured more of the city and ended up at Ian's for Christmas dinner. 

Beautiful home in Jericho. The dinner was stupendous. 

We had Christmas musical crackers to top off the night. We did no justice to Francesca's voice but Jingle Bells did sound ok. Merry Christmas to all.  Took dinner home to Dad, and all was well. Jecicho house we are in is a little bachorlie and cold but very convenient to everything when buses are not running on holidays from Steventon.
