Ride a cock horse


Here is the fine lady on a white horse at Banbury Cross with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes with music wherever she goes. Or as bottle refers to her, the lady with the smelly pits!
We have wandered around most of the little side streets and alleyways here now and it is a fascinating place to explore. I bought some combat socks at the Army and Navy Store which are very warm and comfortable. Today was the weekly market and I can thoroughly recommend the cake stall which had such a wide variety of delicious wares.
We tramped about a mile out of town to Maplins this afternoon for the carbon monoxide alarm. On route we discovered a huge Tesco's but it was too far away from the cut to lug any shopping back.







This quaint little place is the Old Wine House and dates back to 1557. I like the intricately carved wooden gables and ornate plasterwork patterns. It looks like everything has been maintained in it's original condition, amazing.
Tomorrowis the Farmers Market, after which we shall have to be on our way again.
