My wife's favorite band had two performances in the UK this weekend, and I had Monday off. The map showed Oxford not far off the highway about halfway from Heathrow and Birmingham. My wife had not visited since she was in college. We got off and had a nice stroll through the University town and enjoyed tea and scones with a good view of the Radcliffe Camera. A wedding party gathered nearby as we snacked. Trinity College was open for visitors, so we popped in; it was hard not to overhear the myriad tour guides explaining the history.
We tried to remember which episodes of the Morse Mysteries were filmed in particular locations as we ambled through the compact city. For lunch, we drove through the narrow lanes to Wolvercote (1) and had a nice lunch at the ancient pub there before heading on to Birmingham and the concert.
