A Perfect English Sunday Afternoon

Sunday was a perfect English day - we drove through the countryside, stopping in Big Tew for lunch at a fantastic pub called Falkland Arms.  I can't believe it took me this long to have a ploughman's platter!

Afterward we continued our drive, stopping for a few hours at Broughton Castle.  We noticed a few funny-shaped boats on the moat around the castle - turns out they're called Coricles. Here are some pics of Josslyn trying one out...

The gardens were absolutely beautiful - the quintessential English garden, and my favorite so far.



We eventually made our way back to North Oxford, said goodbye to Rose and Josslyn and then decided to venture out for a walk in Oxford University Gardens and a bite to eat.
