Oxford

Oxford roughly an hour from London
this beautiful university city with spectacular buildings and History is well worth the drive.. a lot of Harry Potter movies are filmed here.



We had lunch at cafe Locco right opposite Christchurch college,great simple cafe fare with cute take out store right next door.
The trout stuffed with mushrooms and bacon with dill butter sauce with salad of tiny roast potato and green salad...yummo The chocolate cake was also worthy.
The covered market is a must to visit with loads of speciality shops and an abundance of wonderful local products.
The cake shop in there is a cross between Sweetart in Sydney and Cakes by Judy C in Brisbane
creating amazing celebration cakes with sugar pieces. Sweet chocolate is another tiny shop in the same complex that will tempt your taste buds.
