Last year we rushed through Oxford in a day and missed out on visiting Blenheim Palace, so it’s our first port of call after an early lunch. I’m trying to wean us off a ham […]
2018 Day 13 – Oxford
We visited Oxford last year – looking back at that post, I’m surprised at what we achieved in a day. Oops. Probably pushed Chris a wee bit hard there. I can get a little engerzier […]
2018 Day 11 – A lazy day at last
We ratchet the pace back a little with a lazy lunch by the water, at “Shaun Dickens at The Boathouse”, which proves a gastromonic delight. I should have been much more diligent about taking photos, […]
2018 Day 10 – Cliveden
Today’s plan was to visit Windsor, a short drive from Henley on Thames. The plan was a good one – get there early, secure parking and spend the day exploring. We succeed in the first […]
2018 Day 9 – Henley on Thames
He who makes plans without consulting me has decided to stay in Henley on Thames for a few days. Fine by me. Bunnies a plenty, a pretty town to explore and I’m always happiest either […]

2018 Day 7 – The Jurassic Coast
Our journey east takes us via the Jurassic Coast which stretches approximately 150 km along England’s southern shoreline. Listed as a World Heritage site in 2001, it spans 185 million years of geological history across […]
2018 Day 6 – Corfe Castle
Well it’s finally beginning to feel like we’re on the road. Rain has suspended activity and the sun is out splitting the stones, as the Irish say. Time for our obligatory group shot, which is […]
2018 Day 5 Stourhead
Five days in and it’s official, the heatwave has broken. Rain has arrived and it’s here to stay. If we’re to explore Stourhead, a National Trust favourite, it’s going to have to be in the […]
2018 Days 2 to 4 – London to Exeter then Cornwall
Normally I’d write a post a day but let’s face it, the early days aren’t the exciting ones. Much better to wax lyrical over French farmhouse cheese, lazy days in the sun, English manor homes […]
