Oxford, summer 2016

[Tris39]

Ooops!

Makes me look a bit of a leche....

On the Piper front, unless she has moved recently, she lives pretty much next door to The Load of Hay Tavern.

AEM, Blackthorn ?

I had initially planned to join you on this one, I like Oxford, haven't been for a while, and it's fairly handy for me. As I started a new job on Monday though, I thought it might not be best to start taking time off before I've hardly started, especially as I had already booked another weekend away next weekend which I will have to take time off for.

Plus the fact that it's a contract role, so if I'm not there, I don't get paid. As much as I enjoy all your company, I'm not sure it's enough to lose a days wages! Hope you all had a good time, and I'll try and make one of the next ones (especially if we ever decide to go for a Saturday).

Some photos from Friday:

Some nice shots there, Ray, but what is Quinno up to in No7? He looks as though he's having a stab at a rendition of O Sole Mio!

I wish I could remember!

I think it's a heart-rending version of the tragic "O cellulare mio...."

Grrrr!!!!

Proper pubs only next time, please.

A couple more from the day, think this was in the Turf Tavern, not much room for manoeuvre...

I took the group photo outside the Royal Blenheim - a sadly depleted group as Mick, Steve and Nev had gone off piste at this point, and unfortunately I didn't see them again as I had to quickly do the Kite before catching my train back to Sheffield.

Had to do two takes, as a young lass walked in front of the camera on take 1. Tris - better not let the missus see take 2 either.

I spent ages working out the badge on the football shirt. Too fuzzy when zoomed.
Looked at Stoke, Sunderland, Southampton and Sheffield United before I settled on Athletic Bilbao about a thousand badges later.
Must get a life or get down to the pub. Option two sounds the best bet!
