After our flying visit to Hoole it was on to Oxford where we spent the night with Margaret and Mark Charnock. We spent the day with Margaret mostly at the Ashmolean Museum and Exeter College, but also walking the frosty fields around Bletchingdon.

After breakfast yesterday morning FrancesToday a little more
shopping in the morning and then in the afternoon we went to the British Museum, not to do anything other than to look at the Manuscript
Saloon (their name for it). We both had great delight in looking at all that was on display which included so many of the great names in
literature, science and music, and also the wonderful illuminated manuscripts. Quite the best exhibits for me were Vaughan Williams'
Sea Symphony and Britten's War Requiem. We fed the birds again this evening and started preparing for our departure to Madrid tomorrow.
On to Lavenham
