We decided to go to a quiet country hamlet to see another side of British life. I found a write up about Great Tew ( pop. 250 ) which said the village had many lovely thatched cottages. We phoned the one and only eating establishment (The 16th century Falkland Arms) to find out the nearest train station. The pub owner said to go to Charlbury and take a taxi to Tew. This almost worked perfectly except that Charlbury is also small. It took us almost an hour to get a taxi. However, the driver was great, took us on a little side trip to Little Tew and arranged for a taxi to pick us up after we had spent a few hours in Great Tew.
Great Tew was indeed very, very picturesque and we enjoyed our visit.
On the way back, we stopped at Oxford for a few hours. We were absolutely amazed by the old but incredibly beautiful university buildings in the city centre. Everywhere you looked, there was beauty.
Today was another fantastic day which we finished off at the local pub, The Falcon, which has become Tim’s favourite!
