If it stands still photograph it.

Just a quick note. It seems we've become a fixture after 10 days on the same pitch - and still four more to go, plus the following pre Christmas weekend. I've lost count of how many time we've been asked over the past couple of days  "Can we take a picture with you?" It seems we're on some sort of treasure hunt for kids young and not so young where one of the tasks is to get of photo of yourself with someone interesting in Oxford. Apparently we rate a close second to Anthony, the town crier, who is worth more points as he's only in town on selected days while we're there every afternoon.  Always worth a few coins in the charity bucket - Macmillan cancer this time at the request of the castle management. I don't know whether Santa might be worth more but he's only here at weekends. Now there's a thought, a picture of Rosie and Santa.  

Oxford Castle

Well, over officious traffic wardens actually prevented us getting into Bourton on the Water for the evening there so we parked up outside the town and walked in  sans Rosie.

Oxford Castle is going well. Attached one picture pinched from the Oxford Mail. Could have cropped it a bit more accurately! Strictly copyright so I probably shouldn't have copied it. If they object I'll have to take it down and put one of my own in. This is one of hundreds they took - you know how fast motor drives can take pictures, and at one time both of us (me and the photographer) were lying in the middle of the road to try to get better views. Temperature was well below freezing at the time.
