woke to blue skies and was grateful for my gorgeous room. father wanted to check out the gardens that we thought were nearby (but weren't) so we went along after breakfast. obliging brother was cute and stood next to random things on command. aw :) did feel we lowered the average age by a good 20 years but the gardens had everything! i'm prob as picky about gardens / garden centres as i am about country hotels. a few favourite scottish spots are the berwick garden centre as well as the one in dunbar because of the cafe and gift shop. waterperry didn't disappoint and was tempted to soup and scones before a second lunch in oxford.
got lucky with parking (it can be such a faff) and didn't have far to walk to the city centre. christ church was pretty as ever but couldn't find the crepe man in the meadows. then again the last time i visited was a good three years prior.
was punted by a cute 16year old on her first day. respect!
then stopped for a late lunch at the vaults garden before driving back to london. yucky sunday evening traffic and a relatively stressful time trying to finish a 200 qn online exam before dinner. thank goodness my father and brother contributed (shh)
