Friday Night in Oxford

Short post today.  On Thursday night we had cocktails at home as the sun made a rare appearance.  It was nice enough to walk to dinner at Ditto.  Great meal!

The drive to Oxford should have been just over four hours but it was more than five as we hit a six mile backup on the M40 due to an accident.  We arrived and checked in at our B&B for three nights, the Coach and Horses, room 8, same as last year.  Great big room with comfortable beds and a huge modern bathroom.  We walked done the street to the Angel & Greyhound Pub for a pint or two.  Dinner was at Moya Slovak Restaurant that we enjoyed last year.  Then a walkabout and a good night’s sleep.

  1. Bye bye Whitby. What a pretty last day. And what an unbelievable last supper at Ditto. I would have been done after the appetizers. I know you do a lot of walking about, but I can’t figure out how you both stay so thin. So jealous.

    I hope Hi Ho is feeling better. Can’t wait to see Oxford.

  2. Ditto. Beautiful food, visually as I am sure, gastronomically. A meal fit for A. B. , R. I. P.
