We landed at Dover, from Dunkirk, and headed west, the coastal route in the beautiful 'Garden of England'.

OXFORD

You may have came across my label for the UK: 'You can't or there isn't'. We have visited Oxford many times
over the years and the first stop is always the Blackwell's Bookshop which is behind me. But I also wanted to visit
the Pitt Rivers Museum on Parks Road but was unable to find a parking spot for my car for all the meters
worked by a phone app which I did not have (being from abroad). So we left without visiting the museum.
Yes, you'll find yourself encountering 'YOU CAN'T or THERE ISN'T' every day in England.

The entrance did not prepare me for the interior!

We really enjoyed the countryside though our SatNav steerd us along some very primitive roads

The country roads could be of a most dismal condition, but we know that of England and we still love to go there

Pickering. The visit to the steamtrans ('You can't or there isn't') failed
but the secondhand bookstore brought us a few nice books.

Can't get enough of the historic pubs.. My beverage of choice is a pint
of Guinness (but not shy of a good IPA either) while the missus prefers a cold cider.
