Lot of walking again today with a walking tour book I bought for Oxford. Walked into the Jericho area of Oxford and along the canal. Visited a church, a cemetery. We wanted Fish and Chips and found out several pubs were out of fish and chips! The Lamb and Flag was closed due to refurbishing. The Eagle and Child has been closed for over 2 years now. Both of these pubs have history with Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Today is open day in Oxford for prospective Freshmen and the town was buzzing with parents and students checking out the colleges, and eating all the fish and chips! We finally dropped off our bag of goodies we bought along the way to the apartment and headed to The Turf Tavern again and they had Fish and Chips. This is fast becoming our favorite and go to establishment. Mission accomplished, back to the apartment with our feet up!
Fond memories of walking along that canal in 2009. I’m glad you did find some fish and chips at last!
Ah, fish and chips! Can’t imagine anything more tasty than the “real thing”! Love the red brick! Hugs.
…I love the canal boats.
You found your own turf, and I’m guessing you have your favourite waitress by now. Fish and chips…..now I want some.
Hello,
I love those canal boats. I am glad you found a place that served the fish and chips.
Have a great weekend.
Who would have imagined fish and chips were in scarce supply in England? Lots of hungry students and families!
Glad you were finally able to find your fish and chips! I’m sure you were ready for a nice meal after all that walking!
Just caught up on your travels via your blog posts. Good to know what you are up to…and so glad you found your fish and chips!
