I felt like I was right there with you, walking up the steps to the B&B, meeting little Jack, sipping tea in the lovely room, walking through the cobblestone streets and peeking into the cemetery. You are a gal after my own heart....first stop - the bookstore! Looking forward to coming along on the rest of your journey!

There are simply no words to describe the happiness that radiates from your face. Indeed, one knows it was a magical time.

Love the B&B (...You planned your trip so well! <br />Love the B&B (even the name!),the room (with a view, no doubt), Jack, the darling dog, thoughtful Carrie the hostess, and of course all the daffodils! You couldn't have gotten a better home away from home.<br />All your pictures are wonderful. I especially like the picture of your shadows, on the cobble street. What a fun evening mingling with the locals. <br />This will be a trip you and Rick will remember!

It does seem proper to bring a book home from Oxford...

Beautiful pics. As for Jack - he is adorable...I am sure he makes one feel even more at home at the B&B. Will be looking forward to your breakfast in the coming post. Have a super day. Hugs! P.S. I have a copy of The Wind in the Willows on my bookshelf - my home wouldn't be complete without it. :)!!

It is a thrill to be allowed to tag along on this bountiful adventure. <br /><br />I love the Wordsworth poem, but had not heard the reading by Jeremy Irons. Thank you for sharing that! <i>The Wind in the Willows</i> is one of my favorites too. (I never read it as a child, but I've read it twice in adulthood.) What literary delights . . . and a book store to boot! :) <br /><br />Your home-away-from-home sounds wonderful too, including the "reading" Jack!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-86735914267532392162017-04-26T02:32:32.770-06:002017-04-26T02:32:32.770-06:00How perfect.

Had to chuckle at Jack the dog in Oxford who might have been reading in the kitchen. Sounds like a delightful children's book!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
